Ian Moss Shows He Is Still Australia's Best Guitarist

Well he built us up and then he tore us down. In a near 2 hour set last night at the Belmont 16 Footers Ian Moss was by far the king of the mountain.Arriving with a tight 3 piece band Moss was in charge of the sell out crowd. Starting the evening with an acoustic touch Moss moved from telephone booth to choir girl and a nice take on the classic my baby. Moss also introduced the audience to tracks from his new album Soul on West 53rd. Culminating the evening Moss continued with crowd favourites Tuckers Daughter and Bow River. Overall an excellent evening of memories and a style that must surely be the envy of musicians half his age, thanks Mossy for the memories.

It would be unfair to do a write up without mentioning Mossy's worthy support Wes Carr played a solo acoustic set that proved his future in the music is secure with a true master touch to his guitar playing. It would be unfair to draw a parallel to a young Ian Moss playing guitar with a band called Cold Chisel in the early eighties. The highlight for me was Carr's version of the Dylan classic all along the watchtower.
