Poor Boy Blue Album Cover

Poor Boy Blue

Original Release Date: 

2004

Original Label:

Steamhammer / SPV

Jim’s final studio album epitomised much of his career - a fearless spirit of exploration and musicality, combined with a melodic sensibility and lyrical deftness of touch. Joined once again by Steve Winwood and Gary Moore, this vibrant collection is one of the many highlights of Jim’s life in music.

"This is an exceptional album...a consistently superb performance from start to finish."

Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck, enjoythemusic.com
