What do you think of when you hear the name Gary Moore? Rock? Blues? I just think GUITAR! So when perusing my local music shop and coming across "After Hours" I expected to be in for a ear bashing of rock oriented, blues based, guitar driven music extravaganza......I was right.

Advantages: Pure rocking-blues heaven Disadvantages: Eric Clapton's more famous.
...music extravaganza......I was right.
After Hours is an inspired album from an artist at his peak. Pure molten blues with the kind of edge to it that Eric Clapton can only dream of. Gary plays his Les Paul, incidently worth almost £30000, like theres no tomorrow, wrenching every last bit of emotion from every song, whether it was there or not in the first place.
