1978 Gary Moore – Back On The Streets

Back On The Streets is an album by Northern Irish blues-rock guitarist Gary Moore, released in 1978, and his first authentic solo record (1973’s Grinding Stone album being credited to “The Gary Moore Band”). Thin Lizzy bassist/vocalist Phil Lynott and drummer Brian Downey appear on four songs, including “Don’t Believe A Word” (which originally appeared on the 1976 Thin Lizzy album Johnny the Fox) and the UK top 10 single “Parisienne Walkways”. On the album’s sleeve, Moore is depicted leaving notorious prison Wormwood Scrubs in the Inner London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in a photograph by Chalkie Davies.
