Dark Days in Paradise by Gary Moore
Dark Days in Paradise is Gary Moore's release from 1997, guitar-led music with real feeling. It runs to 67 minutes across 10 tracks on Virgin Records. I came to it well after release and have returned to it since.
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: One Good Reason
One Good Reason is the track I return to, the clearest statement of what the album is doing. It rewards repeat listening.
Give me one good reason why I should stay
Give me one good reason to go on this way
Give me one good reason why I should stay with you
With you
Give me one good reason why I should stay
Give me one good reason to go on this way
Give me one good reason why I should stay with you
With you
Key takeaway
Dark Days in Paradise is a rewarding listen. Give it a listen.
