Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring a massive roster of guest musicians and multiple producers, this highly polished release was a substantial commercial triumph for the Irish guitar virtuoso. 'Run for Cover' blends blistering hard rock solos with accessible, radio-friendly AOR melodies. The album is most notable for the reunion with former Thin Lizzy bandmate Phil Lynott on the anti-war anthem 'Out in the Fields,' which became one of Moore's biggest international hits.
