"Empty Rooms," from the forthcoming Gary Moore tribute album, can be streamed above. The track features Neil Carter, who played with Moore and UFO in the 1980s, on lead vocals and keyboards, and former Ozzy Osbourne band member Bob Daisley on bass, harmonica and backing vocals. Also included on the song are Rob Grosser on drums, Illya Szwec on guitar and Rosanna Daisley on backing vocals.
“Empty Rooms” was originally released on Gary Moore’s 1985 album, Run for Cover, and was written by Moore and Carter.
Moore Blues for Gary—A Tribute to Gary Moore will be released October 26 via earMUSIC. The album is the brainchild of Bob Daisley (Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne), who had played bass with Moore since the early Eighties. It features guest contributions from Steve Lukather (Toto), Steve Morse (Dixie Dregs, Deep Purple), John Sykes (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake), Doug Aldrich (Dio, Whitesnake, the Dead Daisies), Jeff Watson (Night Ranger), Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Country Communion), Eric Singer (Kiss) and more.
"In my opinion, Gary was one of the best guitarists who ever lived," Bob Daisley said in a statement. "It was an honor for me to have worked with him and to have known him so well."
