- "Parisienne Walkways" Gary Moore & Philip Lynott. From 'Back on the Streets' (1979) This gorgeous ballad from Moore’s second solo album, in our opinion the top Gary Moore song ever, can be experienced in two different versions, depending on the album or collection of origin: one features Gary on lead vocals; the other Philip Lynott – and frankly both are incredible in their own way.
- "Out in the Fields" Gary Moore & Philip Lynott. From 'Run for Cover' (1985) Gary Moore’s final album as a full-time hard rock guitar hero also contained his last musical partnership with an ailing Philip Lynott.
- "Róisín Dubh (Black Rose): A Rock Legend" Thin Lizzy. From 'Black Rose' (1979) Lynott reentered Moore’s life in the late ‘70s, asking his old sparring partner to deputize for troubled Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson on tour.
- "Need Your Love So Bad" Gary Moore. From 'Blues for Greeny' (1995) Moore’s born again bluesman period arguably peaked on 1995’s Blues for Greeny – an album dedicated to covering classic tracks composed by Fleetwood Mac founder, Peter Green.

The song opens with a moody organ that sounds similar to church music. As the theme continues, there are evocative guitar chords. Each instrument in the song is added individually, letting them shine for a little while before combining into the arrangement. Everything about the music is equal parts sorrowful and beautiful. Throughout the song, the ...
There is a classical electric feeling during the opening guitar solo. The coolness of Moore’s voice twists into the guitar without overshadowing others. Even though the lyrics are about letting go of being alone, there is a melancholy mood in every other part of the music. Essentially, it’s a song for your darkest moments and the small about of hop...
A listener can hear some of Moore’s experimentation at the beginning of the song. Although it sounds Native American in sections, there is still a lot of his most significant influence, blues. As the song progresses, the guitar becomes more gritty. However, the chords sway in and out of more hopeful arcs. Another element that blows this song out of...
Moore’s low and wistful voice against the backdrop of guitar riffs that frequent many blues songs make this austere song breathtaking. The exquisite lyrics about the dark nights of insomnia and the overabundance of thoughts that keep us awake are brought to life in each element of this song.
This track starts with a cacophony of instruments that transitions into a traditional blues song. The lyrics and sporadic guitar solos are perfect ingredients for a song that sounds fresh and toe-tapping fun.
Moore softens down his style for a more stylized track. Even though, once in a while, there is a brief guitar interlude to break the sadness of the lyrics. Even though it is rare for a synthesizer to stand out without seeming forced and overproduced, it’s executed well when accompanied by a few additional sparse instruments. As the music unfolds, i...
Thinking about Paris evokes many different images. However, blues is typically not one of them. However, the mix of Paris in the spring lyrics with interludes of guitar solos takes Paris from cliché to otherworldly. The line “oh, I could write you paragraphs about my own Parisienne days” is apropos because, much like a picture, this song paints stu...
The overlays of African instruments that open the song are only a brief pause before it launches into dynamic guitar riffs and propulsive drum beats. The triumphal music is similar to Europe’s The Final Countdown. Whenever there’s a guitar solo in this song, it sounds like an impromptu jam session kept on the final track.
Moore’s voice sounds more sinister on this song than he does on others. With the addition of drums, a touch of Celtic instrumentation, and lyrics that read like a creepy Victorian children’s book, this song is anthemic mastery. This song is another example of Moore’s love of experimentation, especially since it has many different genres.
Although Moore did many experiments with multiple genres. This song is a return to the genre that started him on his musical path. The harmony is smooth and infectious, one of the songs you feel at a cellular level. Even though the lyrics are sorrowful, there’s a warmth absent in many songs of the same genre.
