Contemporary feel-good bluesrock from Ireland. Simon McBride evokes the spirit of such great bands as Free and Led Zeppelin, and that point in musical history when blues guitar blossomed into a sound and an attitude of mind that defined a generation and continues to. At 15 he was Guitarist Magazine's Young Guitarist of The Year, a performance competition won against strong competition. That was 13 years ago, since when he has toured His debut album has 11 outstanding original songs rounded off by two excellent covers (Free, and Hendrix). Great album for all lovers of great guitar playing. (from Amazon product Description)

Looking to add this album to my library soon, click album cover to read Amazon reviews.
Also a live album - Nine Lives, must add both of these recordings to my collection, as for the new Gary Moore, not quite, technically Simon is as good, better vocals but Gary had so much soul with every note on his solos, loved GM's music and loving Simon McBride's talent & tunes.
