Black Rose: A Rock Legend

Twin-guitar harmonies meet Celtic mythology and street-level grit. A high-water mark of Irish rock featuring Gary Moore's most explosive fretwork.

It's the ultimate 'cool guy with a heart of gold' record, featuring the best guitar harmonies you've ever heard.

A masterful blend of street-wise bravado and tender, poetic introspection.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The intricate, seven-minute medley of traditional Irish folk tunes reimagined as a blistering hard rock suite on the title track.

The sudden shift from the gritty street-level rock of 'Got to Give It Up' to the shimmering, gentle pop production of 'Sarah'.

Gary Moore's lightning-fast, blues-inflected solo on 'Waiting for an Alibi' that perfectly complements Lynott's rhythmic vocal delivery.
