Gary Moore Boxset

(Kayos) Arguably one of the greatest blues and rock guitarists to come out of Ireland, Gary Moore has made the Montreux stage his personal playground, having taken the Swiss crowd by storm on numerous occasions. Eagle Rock has captured several of these sonic performances, and is proud to present the Essential Montreux 5CD box set on July 28 .

Pulled from five different concerts at the acclaimed jazz festival, Essential Montreux spans over a decade's worth of performances. Clocking in at over six hours, this special edition box set features Moore's appearances from 1990, 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2001.

Proving that this blues-rocker has only sounded better with time, Essential Montreux is a cornucopia of his signature sound. It's the perfect showcase of Moore's brand of gritty blues, swinging rock, and the wailing, howling intricacy of his guitar-work.

A champion of blues-rock, Gary Moore got his start in the 60s with Skid Row. After befriending the late Phil Lynott (Eagle recently released a tribute concert Gary hosted for Lynott on Blu-ray in April 2009), Moore rotated between a solo career and several stints in Thin Lizzy. Studying at the alter of Hendrix, John Mayall, and Elvis, and mentored by Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green, he also provided his sizzling guitar lines in the fusion band Colosseum II, before his successful solo career took off in the 80s. A culmination of a solid and triumphant career, this 5CD box set captures the magnitude of this majestic lead guitarist. It is truly worthy of the title Essential.
