This is another milestone in Moore's rock solid history. Throughout his career he has chopped and changed genres frequently making him such an exiting guitarist.
This is one such episode where the obvious celtic feel is prominent reflecting his mood from revisiting his native ireland and the untimely death of the great Phil Lynott.
The Wild Frontier Track was originally written for Phil Lynott to share vocals which sadly never came about, Over the Hills is a very clever well put together song and probably the only that that stood upto and warranted the over-production. Wait a little time has 'Billy Idol' stamped all over it (Moore made no secret of admiring him at the time). The loner is an instrumental which liked by Many but too tame for Moore. Friday on My Mind is Pants and should not have been on the album. Strangers in the darkness a slow ballad with a dark undertone. Thunder Rising is Moores rendition of Lizzys massacre and johny Boy is a moving tribute to the great Phil Lynott.Crying in the shadows is a great ballad which originally missed of the vinyl reflects Moores ability to cover all the styles.
The rear of the Album said simply ' For Philip' and was a sound tribute in both style and content.
The Album sound reflects the over-production and myriad of instruments and drum machines which Moore does not need.
This is probably the least played Album in my GM collection prefering either the harder rock stuff from previous 3 albums or the later blues ~(and later powered blues).
A great album full of great songs but has not aged well owing to the over-production which so many artists suffered from at this time.
A quote from Don Airey about Moore hits the nail on the head ' He is such a talented artist bursting with ideas with so much drive and ability that it cannot be contained.

this in my opinion is a classic by gary moore with irish rock being a focall piont throughout the album. my particular favourite as it was the album that got me into gary moore and love listening to it still. "thunder rising" is a great rock song both vocally and guitar/songwriter wise as is "take a little time" a brill song! i like his take on the easybeats song"friday on my mind" its a great version of a great song. definatly an album worth remastering, just a shame too repeat certain tracks again and not have more quality songs in place, my only critism
