Run For Cover – Moore, Gary – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Released in 1985, ‘Run for Cover’ stands as a milestone in Gary Moore’s storied career, marking his transition from guitar hero to bona fide rock craftsman. This album finds Moore sharpening his songwriting edge, crafting tracks that pulse with urgency and emotional depth. Here, the Irish virtuoso fuses his blues roots with the hard-hitting production of ’80s rock, resulting in a sound both gritty and anthemic. Collaborations with Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) and Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple) add layers of character, with standout tracks like “Out in the Fields” channeling the political unrest of the era and “Empty Rooms” baring a more vulnerable side. Moore’s guitar work is nothing short of electrifying: each solo is meticulously woven into the fabric of the song, never overshadowing the melody but always propelling it forward. For collectors, ‘Run for Cover’ is more than a showcase of technical prowess; it’s an essential document of an artist at a creative crossroads, blending arena-sized ambition with deeply personal storytelling. If you crave rock albums that balance fire and finesse, this is a record to proudly spin and savor.
