"Run for Cover" is the fifth solo studio album by Northern Irish guitarist Gary Moore, released on 2 September 1985. Often considered his breakthrough album, it includes the top 5 single "Out in the Fields" and a re-recording of "Empty Rooms," originally from Moore's previous album Victims of the Future, which became one of his biggest solo successes, reaching No. 23 on the UK charts.
The album features collaborations with several musical friends, including Deep Purple bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes, Paul Thompson of Roxy Music, and Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy. Lynott and Moore share lead vocals on "Out in the Fields," while Lynott sings alone on "Military Man," a track from Moore's Grand Slam project. "Out in the Fields" addresses the turmoil in Ireland. Lynott also contributed vocals to a re-recording of the Thin Lizzy classic "Still in Love with You," a track initially released as a B-side of "Out in the Fields" but included in later remastered versions of the album.
