SKID ROW (Gary Moore) – Skid [Music On CD reissue] (2025), MP3+FLAC, FAKE

Dutch reissue label Music On CD just made available again “Skid”, the debut album by the Irish blues rock band SKID ROW, originally released in 1970. The band, initially formed in 1967, featuring Gary Moore on guitar and vocals, became a key part of Irish rock history.

Skid Row was the first band in which Phil Lynott and Gary Moore played professionally before finding greater fame with Thin Lizzy. The album blends traditional blues influences with hard rock and a hint of psychedelic rock, resulting in a raw and powerful debut.

With it’s heavy blues influence, “Skid” features extended solos and emotive vocals, with Moore’s guitar work taking center stage and showcasing his immense talent early in his career.
The album also incorporates hard rock elements, with strong rhythms and powerful riffs adding a heavier edge to the sound. The combination of bluesy improvisation and hard rock energy gives the album a compelling and distinctive vibe for its time.
This sense of spontaneity lends the album a raw, unpolished feel, complete with extended instrumental breaks and Moore’s face-melting guitar solos.
“Skid” launched Moore’s legendary career and became a cornerstone of Irish rock history.
