Having dabbled in a few bands over the years, including Thin Lizzy, this was Gary's second solo album since his conscious effort to concentrate on his own material. Following up Back On The Streets, this album progresses further along the path he was ready to tread.
There is a lot of strong material here, some of it in the classic class. Don't Take Me For A Loser, Gonna Break My Heart Again and End Of The World are good solid Gary Moore songs.
It's the really good songs that get you going, though. Wishing Well is one of his all time classics. Rockin' Every Night sits in that class as well. Surprisingly, the best sounding song on Corridors is the ballad I Can't Wait Until Tomorrow, which Gary pulls off to perfection. I may not be a big fan of ballads, but this is one of my favourites.
This album started a six year stretch where Gary Moore took the world by storm with his rock guitar. Perhaps he had more success with his blues, but to me this was the start of his greatness.
Rating : The start of something big. 3.5/5.
