Art History

White Knuckles tells the story of blues rock guitar hero Gary Moore. Drawing on interviews with family, friends, and fellow band members, author Martin Power chronicles Moore's roots in sixties Belfast and Dublin, his rocky time working with Thin Lizzy, and his occasionally volatile friendship with Phillip Lynott, before Moore finally found stardom in his own right as a born-again bluesman. Exploring a hugely varied career, countless personal challenges, and over five decades of music, White Knuckles represents a comprehensive, balanced, and entertaining account of this most revered of guitar players.
