GARY MOORE
The seventh full-length solo studio album by legendary British guitarist and singer.
Moore's last Hard rock album before he became a born-again Bluesman, "After The War" continues in the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal guitar riffing of previous efforts, while continuing to explore more conventional Pop dynamics with mixed results, but like its predecessor, "Wild Frontier", the album contains elements of Celtic music. It works great on "Ready to Love," and, after dedicating his previous album to fallen childhood friend and musical partner, Phil Lynott, Moore finally honors him in song with the moving "Blood Of Emeralds."
On "Led Clones", Ozzy Osbourne, with whom Moore had worked before the singer united with Randy Rhoads, shares lead vocals. The song pokes fun at bands such as Kingdom Come which were popular at the time, and is based on a Led Zeppelin-type sound and image. "That song was great fun", - Ozzy recalled, - "and it was an honour to record with Gary". The Sisters Of Mercy frontman, Andrew Eldritch, provides backing vocals on the songs "After the War", "Speak for Yourself" and "Blood of Emeralds". The instrumental "Dunluce" is named after Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland. Although Cozy Powell played drums on the album, he was replaced by Chris Slade for the tour, as he was set to tour with Black Sabbath, in support of the album, "Headless Cross", on which he also played drums.
"After The War" was Moore's last foray into conventional Hard Rock, and his last Rock album of any kind until "Dark Days In Paradise" in 1997. Starting with his next album, "Still Got The Blues", he primarily played Blues.
