│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Just heard the very sad news that Gary Moore ║ │
│║ died earlier today. A great guitarist and ║ │
│║ songwriter who always put on a good live show ║ │
│║ every time I saw him. This is my only published ║ │
│║ review of any of GaryÆs solo albums so will ║ │
│║ serve as my personal tribute. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There was a time in the early eighties when you ║ │
│║ could have been excused for believing that ║ │
│║ Ritchie Blackmore, David Coverdale and Gary ║ │
│║ Moore met up in a smoky bar somewhere every six ║ │
│║ months and traded band members in some æfantasy ║ │
│║ rock bandÆ game. Okay so I may be being a bit ║ │
│║ sarcastic but Cozy Powell was in Rainbow and ║ │
│║ Whitesnake, Neil Murray did Whitesnake and Gary ║ │
│║ Moore, Ian Paice did likewise and Don Airey did ║ │
│║ all three. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ æCorridors Of PowerÆ was Gary MooreÆs second ║ │
│║ solo album and featured nine solid bluesy hard ║ │
│║ rock tracks very much in the early Whitesnake ║ │
│║ vein. That was not surprising given the rhythm ║ │
│║ section of Ian Paice and Neil Murray had been ║ │
│║ lifted straight from CoverdaleÆs crew after the ║ │
│║ Saints AnÆ Sinners sessions had ended. Indeed ║ │
│║ opening track æDonÆt Take Me For A LoserÆ is ║ │
│║ almost more Whitesnake than Whitesnake with the ║ │
│║ driving rhythm section and catchy hook. With a ║ │
│║ more polished or dare I say æfull-timeÆ vocalist ║ │
│║ it could probably have made the singles chart. ║ │
│║ To be fair to Moore though his vocal performance ║ │
│║ is pretty good throughout and was far better ║ │
│║ than the woeful John Sloman who for some reason ║ │
│║ was brought in to sing live when they toured the ║ │
│║ album. æAlways Gonna Love YouÆ is like a ║ │
│║ slightly more British sounding REO Speedwagon ║ │
│║ (think æKeep On Loving YouÆ era) and is another ║ │
│║ quality track. Next up we get the strange choice ║ │
│║ of Free track æWishing WellÆ which surprisingly ║ │
│║ works rather well given that although MooreÆs ║ │
│║ vocals are more than competent he is certainly ║ │
│║ no Paul Rodgers and his guitar style is far ║ │
│║ heavier than that of Paul Kossoff. The only ║ │
│║ minor gripe is the lyrical errors which there is ║ │
│║ really no excuse for. æGonna Break My Heart ║ │
│║ AgainÆ is nothing very special and æFalling In ║ │
│║ Love With YouÆ is too eighties big ballad for my ║ │
│║ liking. They offer a slightly disappointing end ║ │
│║ to Side One. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Side Two kicks off with the heavy minor epic ║ │
│║ æEnd Of The WorldÆ in which Moore really gives ║ │
│║ it some heavy guitar playing and a great vocal. ║ │
│║ æRockin Every NightÆ follows and is easily the ║ │
│║ albums weakest track despite PaiceÆs great ║ │
│║ drumming. In fact Paice gets a writing credit so ║ │
│║ significant is his input to the song. MooreÆs ║ │
│║ vocal shines again in the track æCold HeartedÆ ║ │
│║ which is up next. Again it is very Whitesnake. ║ │
│║ Album closer æI CanÆt Wait Until TomorrowÆ is ║ │
│║ another classy heavy epic. It is almost like a ║ │
│║ heavy Parisienne Walkways and ensures the album ║ │
│║ ends on a high note. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Gary Moore went more down the blues path in ║ │
│║ later years but this is a real gem of an early ║ │
│║ eighties hard rock album typical of the British ║ │
│║ rock sound of the time and is well worth four ║ │
│║ stars. ║ │
