"After Hours" is the ninth solo studio album by Irish guitarist Gary Moore, released in 1992. The album features guest contributions from musicians B.B. King and Albert Collins.
For this album, Moore returned to the blues music with which he had found success with the album "Still Got the Blues," but also incorporated elements of his previous jazz-fusion sound. Two of the tracks, "Cold Day in Hell" and "Story of the Blues," reached the UK singles chart.
Around this time, Moore had been recognized as one of the finest guitarists that the British Isles had ever produced. Having already showcased his mastery of the rock genre in previous albums, Moore took a gamble and transitioned into the blues genre, facing opposition from his record company. With "After Hours," Moore fully cemented his transition and newfound identity as a modern blues player.
Overall, the album received generally favorable reviews from critics, and it stands as a testament to Moore's versatility as a musician.
