BBM (Moore/Bruce/Hanrahan) Another Bruce/Baker/Moore number (from the album Around the Next Dream) which is reminiscent of a classic Cream performance. In this case, think Crossroads and youll get general vibe. Its a standard 12-bar blues in the key of A and is so similar to the track that the lyrics and guitar solos could easily be interchanged. The song features typically muscular guitar work by Gary Moore (Gibson Les Paul & Marshall JTM45) with than a passing nod to EC.
