This track made Number 23 in August as the follow-up to 'Out In The Fields'.You must try to restrain your enthusiasm, sleeve-note writer! Moore wasn't the first act to follow a big hit by returning to older material, although he went slightly further than most by re-recording 'Empty Rooms' entirely from the previous single version (which was itself a remix of the original 1983 album cut). This version went down so well it ended up going on his next album as well.
It's one of Moore's mellower songs, as much blues as rock, and shows some soul, although it's a bit overproduced, particularly in this version. The brief acoustic guitar passage in the middle rather leaves me wishing he'd done more of that before the electric solo comes in and takes over.
