Video Gold:-->Gary Moore




"All men are equal
'til the victory is won.
No color or religion
ever stopped the bullet from a gun."
-->Gary Moore<--


Gary Moore has been unfairly flying under the RnR radar.

Hooking up with different bands since the early 70's....along with his continuing killer solo work...I finally climbed on board the GM wagon during his stint with Thin Lizzy. Most notably on the awesome..."Black Rose" (1979).
Lately, I've been snacking on some of Moore's solo soup...and highly recommend most of it.

The wickedly lost gem..."Out In The Fields"...was released on the blistering "Run For Cover" (1985).
Especially choice...Phil Lynott adds guest vocals and some of his throwdown bass that always seems to bring out the best musically in Moore.

The video...unfortunately...reeks of that early 80's cheesiness...but fughetabutit...the music is screwdriver tight.

Sadly, this is one of the very few recordings made by Phil Lynott before his tragic death on January 4, 1986.

Check it out! Gary Moore (w Phil Lynott) --"Out In The Fields"

It doesn't matter
If you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference
If you're black or if you're white
All men are equal
Till the victory is won
No color or religion
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

Out in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

It doesn't matter
If you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause
They want to fight
There'll be no prisoners taken
When the day is done
No flag, no uniform
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun
Out in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again
A thousand more will die each day
OUT!

Pick up some Gary Moore.
Good Stuff.

Interview:-- Joan Staley (Actress - Classic Movies & Television)

  "Elvis,  do you really want me to slap you?"  ~ Joan Staley ~     So my friends and I were talking about first crushes. First tv and movie crushes.  For me, it was easy.  It was Alma. (Joan Staley)   I broke into the double-digit age of 10 in 1993.  That was the summer I discovered my favorite Don Knotts movie while flipping thru cable one Saturday morning... "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken." Everyone has seen it.  It was a funny haunted house story similar to an episode on Andy G. with a cast of familiar characters, trippy organ music, and the prettiest girl I had ever seen...Alma. She was beautiful alright.  I was love-stung so bad, I swear I could smell flowers coming out of the TV set.  And best of all, she was nice.  She didn't like the smart alec, the wise guy, or the show-off.  Alma was digging Luther (Don Knotts) and that just made her that much prettier.  And from then on... But unfortu...

Interview -- Henry Lee Summer (Singer/Songwriter)

"I just always have played music.  For better   or worse, I banked my whole life on it." ~ Henry Lee Summer ~     It's strange how music lets you travel through time as if there truly was no time.  I played the shit out of this album growing up.  Nothing deep or complicated.  Nothing outta bounds.  Nothing to get hung about.  It's deceptively simple.  But here's the thing... Henry Lee Summer  is serving aces all over this heartland square. This is the 35th anniversary of Henry Lee Summer's self-titled album and this one falls under that sweet spot between raucous and chill.  It's a large cup of iced coffee with a nice soulful blend.  Not usually my type of go-to and yet this album easily fills a void I didn't know I had.  Let this spin be your own private Idaho.  " Check it out, Leroy!"   Henry Lee Summer... Go get you some. Henry Lee Summer Interview -- August 2023 Henry Lee Summer Casey Cha...

Interview -- Elliot Lurie (Looking Glass)

Image
"...Your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea." ~ Looking Glass ~ Elliot Lurie was a singer/songwriter for the 70s band Looking Glass . The band recorded two albums and had a couple of hits along with a handful of deep-track FM cuts.  And as many bands are wont to do... Looking Glass called it a day and handed over the keys.  However, before cutting out, Looking Glass did leave us with the #1 hit song... "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)."   Now there have been plenty of #1 songs that have climbed to the top spot faster.  And plenty of #1 songs that have stayed at the top spot longer.  But the list begins to thin when it comes to #1 songs that have had some real staying power years and years after their run.  And as the 50th anniversary draws to a close, the song  "Brandy..." still remains an ageless and endearing wonder. A song of unrequited love without all the drippy, maudlin sadness that often stains so many other attempts.  Every boy dreams ...
