Wild Frontier by Gary Moore
Wild Frontier is Gary Moore's release from 1987, a record that leans on tone and touch. It runs to 37 minutes across 8 tracks on 10 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: Over the Hills and Far Away
Over the Hills and Far Away is the track I return to, the clearest statement of what the album is doing. It rewards repeat listening.
Over the hills and far away
For ten long years he'll count the days
Over the mountains and the seas
A prisoner's life for him there'll be
Key takeaway
Wild Frontier is well worth your time. Give it a listen.
