COZY POWELL & GARY MOORE

1989 - Gary Moore - After The War

The last album of the era for Gary, and the last of a kind for Gary as well. Moore's 1989 release features a much welcomed return to the metal guitar stylings of his earlier albums. Cuts like "Speak for Yourself" and "Running From The Storm" are certainly up to the standards set on "Cooridors of Power" and "Victims of the Night." However, there are some hints of what was to come as well with the bluesy "The Messiah Will Come Again," which heralds Moore's new birth as a blues guitarist. Ozzy Osbourne makes a guest appearance on lead vocals in the tongue and cheek track "Led Clones" which takes a pot shot at bands like Kingdom Come and Great White, who while having platinum albums at thetime, were obviously borrowing their entire sound and image from Led Zeppelin. Ozzy also does some background vocals on "Speak for Yourself." Gary once again pays tribute to his childhood friend and musical brother, Philip Lynott in the emotional song "Blood of Emeralds". Overall, this album is so far superior to the pop leanings of his last album "Wild Frontiers" it's literally like comparing apples and onions. Once tastes sweet, the other just stinks.
