Close As You Get is a studio album by Irish blues-rock and hard-rock guitarist and singer Gary Moore from 2007. Like the previous album, it contains some reinterpretations of blues pieces by well-known blues musicians and Moore's own compositions in blues rock -Style.
The album includes pieces in Moore's well-known mixture of blues-rock and hard-rock styles and his own soulful ballads. Sundown is a blues piece on which Moore only accompanies singing with a slide- based acoustic guitar. Have You Heard , the well-known number by John Mayall who made Eric Clapton's style of blues popular, is honored here by Moore by clearly taking up Clapton characters again.
