Corridors of Power by Gary Moore
Corridors of Power is Gary Moore's release from 1982, expressive playing rooted in the blues. It runs to 43 minutes across 9 tracks on Virgin Records. I reached it late and it has stayed with me.
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: Wishing Well
Wishing Well stands out, the piece that holds the whole set together. It earns its place on the album.
But I know what you're wishing for
Love in a peaceful world
Love in a peaceful world
Love in a peaceful world
You've always been a good friend of mine
But you always say farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
Key takeaway
Corridors of Power is a fine place to start. Give it a listen.
