1987 studio album by Gary Moore
Wild Frontier Gary Moore , released on 2 March 1987.[6] Belfast , Northern Ireland, the album contains several songs about Ireland. The album is dedicated to the memory of Moore's close friend and former Thin Lizzy bandmate Phil Lynott , who died on 4 January 1986, with the words "For Philip" on the rear cover.
Wild Frontier contains the hit single "Over the Hills and Far Away ", which reached No. 20 in the UK,[7] Easybeats ' song "Friday on My Mind ". The Max Middleton -penned "The Loner" was originally recorded by Cozy Powell for his Over the Top Wild Frontier , was also recorded by Japanese singer Minako Honda , titled "The Cross (Ai No Jujika)", with Moore on guitar.
Gary Moore was joined by The Chieftains on select tracks from this album.[8] [9] [10]
All drums on Wild Frontier are sequenced with a drum machine , which AllMusic described as Moore's "most fatal" decision, leading to a "disappointing" album.[1]
"Over the Hills and Far Away" has been covered by the Finnish symphonic power metal band Nightwish on their 2001 EP of the same title , by Swedish viking metal band Thyrfing on their album Urkraft Patty Gurdy on her Shapes & Patterns EP (2018). The Rockoutstandout reviewer wrote, "Patty Gurdy’s cover with a hurdy gurdy and vocals gives us a completely different take on the song altogether and it works very well. The echo effect on the vocals give this track that well known powerful atmosphere that the original song is able to do. I love this quirky cover and I always feel a sense of warmth when hearing the song."[11] Spanish band Saurom also recorded a cover of this song with alternative lyrics, titled "La Disolución de la Comunidad".
Christy Moore recorded a version of Johnny Boy on his 2021 album, Flying Into Mystery and released it as a single in November 2021.[12] Late Late Show , noting his long time admiration for Gary Moore as a musician, and performed it following his receipt of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards 2021.[13] [14]
