- [en] Still Got the Blues

[es] Still Got the Blues

Still Got the Blues es el noveno álbum de estudio del guitarrista norirlandés de blues rock y hard rock Gary Moore, publicado en 1990 por Virgin Records. Coproducido por Moore e Ian Taylor, el disco inició una nueva etapa en su carrera, ya que se enfocó en su principal influencia musical, el blues, dejando atrás su paso por el hard rock y heavy metal de la década anterior. La idea de editar una producción de ese estilo nació durante la gira promocional de After the War (1989), en donde incluía jamathons de blues durante las pruebas de sonido. Una vez terminado el tour, Moore llegó a afirmar que se había aburrido del metal y que haría el álbum que siempre quiso realizar.

[ru] Still Got the Blues

Still Got the Blues (с англ. — «По-прежнему тоскую») — восьмой студийный альбом североирландского гитариста и певца Гэри Мура, изданный в 1990 году. Альбом ознаменовал собой существенное изменение стиля для Мура[1][2], который до этого альбома был преимущественно известен своими работами в стиле хард-рок с Thin Lizzy, G-Force, Грегом Лейком и во время своей обширной сольной карьеры[3], а также своей джаз-фьюжн-работой с Colosseum II. Как свидетельствует название, Still Got The Blues демонстрирует приверженность Мура к электрическому блюзу.
