I loved this period of Gary’s music, although he always had the ability to turn your head no matter what style he chose to play. This is probably the most commercially accessible album he made. He actually shares the vocal duties on this album with Glenn Hughes and Phil Lynott. The Glenn Hughes tracks are worth the purchase of the album alone.
Glenn made a killer album with Pat Thrall and some of these tunes are very reminiscent of that vibe. Run For Cover has that tone and Reach For The Sky could have been cut from those sessions. Killer pair of tracks. The two big singles Out In The Fields and Empty Rooms (which was great live) helped with the commercial success and of course Gary rips as per usual, but in a more restrained manner.
Gary you are greatly missed.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
