4.0 out of 5 stars Good at the time but has not aged well., 21 April 2007
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gaelic rock-out from Lizzy sideman back on home turf, 15 Jun 2003
By O. Buxton "Olly Buxton" (Highgate, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I never did buy Gary Moore's reinvention of himself - canny though it was - as a bluesman: he was always a hard rocker of that most fabulous seventies kind: big boots, tight jeans, mullet, foot to floor style of playing.

Here we find him in pretty much his last incarnation on the wild frontier before crossing the great divide into sell-out land, where history records he would go on to pretend he *still* had the blues, despite scant evidence of ever having had them in the first place.

On his way to the Wild Frontier, Gary Moore found himself at a cross roads: certainly, Heavy Rock wasn't just for hard men on motorbikes anymore - Bon Jovi had seen to that - but nor was it necessarily for a solely white audience either: Moore and his producer were clearly cognisant of the change ushered in by Aerosmith's collaboration with Run DMC on "Walk this Way" - alas all it culminated in during this session was a fairly lame rap remix of his excellent Easybeats cover, "Friday On My Mind". I suspect the remix hasn't made it onto the CD. No great loss.

In other ways Moore was returning to his Irish roots - there is a definite Gaelic feel to the cover of Big Country's "Over the Hills and Far Away", the title track, and "The Loner", the last of which is an instrumental for the late Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy. Alas, it comes nowhere near the outstanding "Parisienne Walkways" which Moore recorded with Lynott before Lynott's death, but which you won't find on this album.

In any case I think this return to the roots was a good thing - certainly much more bona fide than the blues "renaissance" he would subsequently experience - and it sets this record apart from most of the others that were coming out at the time.

Wild Frontier has elegant cover art, too - or at least would have but for the prominence of Gary's ugly scowling mug and his decidedly unconvincing balled fist.

In any case well worth a spin.
