GARY MOORE
The fifth full-length solo studio album by legendary British guitarist and singer.
Top-notch Hard Rock album with non-oafish sound – complex and somewhat Proggy with synths, advanced solos and even soulful R'n'B snippets, "Run For Cover" took the Hard Rock ingredients of Gary Moore's previous two albums and added a little pop refinement to the mix. Thankfully, this did not compromise the overall heaviness of the record. Considered as Moore's breakthrough, the album includes the top 5 single "Out in the Fields" and a re-recording of the song "Empty Rooms", originally from Moore's previous album, "Victims Of The Future", which became one of Moore's biggest solo successes, reaching No. 23 on the UK charts.
The album features many of Moore's musical friends, including Paul Thompson of Roxy Music, Deep Purple bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes on "Reach for the Sky" and "All Messed Up", and former Thin Lizzy leader and childhood friend Phil Lynott . Lynott and Moore trade lead vocals on "Out in the Fields", while Lynott sings alone on "Military Man", an old Grand Slam track. "Out in the Fields" is about the the religious turmoil in their native Ireland, it was actually Lynott's final recorded performance before his tragic death. It also presaged the musical and lyrical Irish themes which would dominate Moore's future work. Lynott also provided vocals for a re-recording of the Thin Lizzy classic "Still in Love with You", on which Moore originally played guitar; the track was initially issued as a B-side of "Out In The Fields", but is included on later remastered versions of the album.
Performance-wise, 'Run for Cover' might be Gary Moore's most well-rounded album. It has magnificant flow and never feels disjointed even with three lead vocalists. Of course, the guitar playing is absolutely stellar, but never at the expense of songwriting. Along with "Corridors Of Power" and "Victims Of The Future", "Run For Cover" represents the best in Moore's often over-looked Hard Rock period.
