Gary Moore had a good voice but never quite at the same level as his fiery guitar playing so on 1985’s Run For Cover he enlists two legendary, but troubled, vocalists to help out. “Voice Of Rock” Glenn Hughes lends his powerful, soulful singing to four songs, most notably the classy Reach For The Sky which could have fit right in on his superb 1982 album Hughes/Thrall. And then Moore’s old Lizzy pal Phil Lynott basically steals the show with his larger-than-life presence: duetting on bullet-strewn hit Out In The Fields and contributing his own thumpingly macho, but characteristically vulnerable, Military Man. I enjoy the whole album but it’s these guest appearances that make Run For Cover a favourite.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD

An all time classic song. Moore was so under-appreciated.

Run For Cover was a really important LP for all my little metal chums and I back in Carmarthen. Moore was huge for us back then.

Through all the ups and downs of Moore’s career he could always say he was “big in Carmarthen”

True. I think it was a great comfort to him. Mind you I don’t know anyone who actually bought anything by him, my copy was a 9th generation copy at least!
