Released in 1973, 'Grinding Stone' was Gary Moore's solo debut with The Gary Moore Band. The music on this album could be described as experimental, but on the album, Moore explores a number of styles, from the title track's instrumental "Boogie Rock" to soulful vocals on "Sail Across the Mountain" and 17 minutes of guitar and keyboard excursions on the surprisingly funky "Spirit".
Often cited as an overlooked gem and totally ahead of its time, 'Grinding Stone' showcases Moore at his most experimental, mixing up styles and a taste of the triumphs that followed with his work in Colosseum II & Thin Lizzy.
'Grinding Stone' is available as a 50th anniversary edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on flaming coloured vinyl. Deluxe heavyweight sleeve with leather laminate.
