Moore's tone is always a little too (in)tense for me, it's like he tries too hard as opposed to not meaning it. I'm sure he's sincere in his love for the blues, but he lacks a certain looseness other Brit blues ROCK guitarists have for me like the already mentioned Rory Galllagher or the miraculously hitherto unmentioned Alvin Lee (there is more to him than just the cocaine fuelled hypher-charged Woodstock "I'm going home" performance). Rory was earthy, Alvin playful, Moore is just too concentrated, like Al di Meola doing a 12 bar.
General observation: US blues rock guitarists generally don't have an issue with sounding loose - you guys can do that well.
