专辑介绍

by Michael G. Nastos

At 71, blues pianist/singer Moore is only up to his second CD, but it's a very good one. He's definitely reminiscent of his main influence, Roosevelt Sykes, just not as bawdy. Traces of Jay McShann also creep in here and there. Moore wrote all seventeen of these tracks, but you've heard them all under the guise of more familiar blues standards. The back-up band is solid; guitarist James Wheeler is an expert at economical, sweet, tasty solos and fills, Bob Stroger knows the right basslines to lay down, and drummer Wilie &Big Eyes& Smith is a legend. When Moore gets on a roll, he stays there, as the majority of his tunes are easy shuffles with New Orleans flourishes. &I Thought Your Love Was True, & &Bedroom Invitation, & &Just Let Me Love You, & &I Can't Stand To Be Alone, & &You Came To Me In A Dream, & and &Waiting On Your Love& could all be the same tune. &I Want My Baby Back& is a lighter boogie with sexual overtones, &Hind Part Boogie& much heavier and Sykes-like. &You Look So Good To Me& is in more of a Jimmy Reed style, while the title track is a jump'n'shout fire breather, and Faithful Love, & just Moore playing and singing, is similar to &Sunny Side Of The Street. Not much soloing here, but traces of his jazz influence...Count Basie, Teddy Wilson and Earl Hines, comes across as a compact approach that has no need for grandstanding. Slower ballads and shuffles as the 12 bar &My Love Is Out Of Control& and &Made A Change In Your Love& shows Moore's tender side, but then he cranks it back us with &Real Throw Down, & a true down home blues perfect for your next party. Moore's style is getting to be a lost art, and while a bit more diversity could make this fine pianist a true blues star, there's absolutely nothing wrong with what he's doing here. Recommended.
