After Hours

Gary Moore

A high-fidelity masterclass in electric blues. Searing Les Paul leads meet punchy brass arrangements and guest spots from legends B.B. King and Albert Collins.

After Hours captures Gary Moore at the peak of his blues-rock powers, successfully bridging the gap between his hard rock past and a deep, reverent love for the blues. The album feels like a high-end urban lounge at 2 AM: sophisticated, slightly dangerous, and drenched in neon. While his previous effort, Still Got the Blues, was a reintroduction, this record is a confident victory lap that leans harder into soul and big-band arrangements. The production is unmistakably early-90s hi-fi, giving the drums a massive thud and the horns a crystalline sharpness that cuts through the mix.

Moments Worth Listening For
The respectful but competitive guitar dialogue between Moore and B.B. King on Since I Met You Baby.
The explosive, high-gain solo climax on Separate Ways that showcases Moore's signature infinite sustain.
The biting, percussive interplay with Albert Collins on Cold Cold Feeling where two distinct guitar tones collide.
