Moore pretty much ran his blues shtick into the ground over the last 15+ years.  IMO, if you picked up "Still Got The Blues" and are
only a casual listener, that's all you need. After that one, I'd probably recommend "After Hours" and "BBM" which is basically Moore
fronting Cream (Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker). I will also say the album "SCARS" which came out around '02 and is more in the
psychedelic Hendrix style is probably his best album of the last 10 years.  His semi-electronica album "A Different Beat" from
around '99 is terrible and should be avoided at all costs.
