"Speak For Yourself" by Gary Moore
Irish guitarist and singer Gary Moore left behind an extensive catalogue of music in addition to his work as a member of Thin Lizzy. Moore was perhaps best known for his turn to blues, which began in earnest with "Still Got The Blues." That tune became his only charting single in the US, reaching #97 in 1991. In the 80s, he embraced the popular hard rock sound. "Speak For Yourself" features some of his most blistering guitar work ever. If you need an anthem to get you going, or inspire you to make it through a rough patch, this is the song. Gary Moore passed away in 2011 at 58 years from a heart attack brought on by excessive drinking.
