After Hours by Gary Moore

After Hours is Gary Moore's release from 1992, guitar-led music with real feeling. It runs to 48 minutes across 11 tracks on Virgin Records. It came to me long after release and earned its place.

Why listen?

The playing is expressive and rooted, every note bent for feeling rather than show. The band keeps it lean and lets the guitar and voice lead. It is a record about tone, touch, and timing.

Favourite song: Since I Met You Baby

Since I Met You Baby is the high point of the record, the moment where everything comes together. It earns its place on the album.

Since I met you baby
You've made a new man out of me
Since I met you baby I'm happy as a man could be
Since I met you baby
I'm happy as a man could be

Key takeaway

After Hours is well worth your time. Worth seeking out.
