Back On The Streets - The Gary Moore Story

Over a decade after his untimely death, Gary Moore remains something of an enigma. A private, sometimes troubled man, he nevertheless chose a profession that exposed him to public scrutiny. Moore remained secretive about most aspects of his private life. This biography focuses on Moore's public life: after all, music was his chosen mode of expression. Yet, it seems clear that at least some consideration of his private life is required when that approach leads to deeper and broader understanding of his music. This dual, balanced approach will provide relevant narrative context, as well as uncover hidden motivations and meaning.

Summary

A highly detailed and thoroughly researched biography of the man who gave us ‘Parisienne Walkways‘, ‘Róisín Dubh (Black Rose): A Rock Legend’, and ‘Still Got the Blues (For You)’. Belfast-born Moore was perhaps the greatest guitarist of his era and this book explores his musical heritage, providing analysis of album releases and live performances.
