My husband LOVES Rory Gallagher and I would like to get him a CD for his birthday as all his were swiped/lost/wrecked over the years. I haven't heard him but I know he was an Irish Blues musician. What's a good CD of his? Thanks in advance! |

My favourite album being On the Boards. You just can't beat the accompaniment of McCracken and Wilson which I think was noticably lacking in some of Rory's later solo stuff. |

Great band to watch live, pity there are none like that today. Jackie |

It crackles with that energy and sheer guitar virtuosity that shows Gallagher at his best -playing live and hot! PJC I once had the great pleasure of working with him in a studio session on a Davy Spillane album and he was a courtous, gentle man and a TOTAL musician. |

It was late seventies, CNE stadium. Four acts, Rory, followed by Rick Derringer, followed by Henry Gross, followed by Aerosmith. For those of you who don't know, Henry Gross was the guy who had the schmaltzy hit "Shannon" about the drowned dog. Who ever decided to put him in with those other acts must have a different career now. |

He just got a video of his '74 Irish Tour. Apparently it's very good. I haven't had a chance to borrow it yet. I think he said he got it from Amazon.com (which you can link to above and support the Mudcat at the same time). Steve |

Song, "a million miles away" Also, "Tatoo" He is gone now, but was one of the best and underated. Came in right after the Clapton, Beck, Page, Hendrix, Peter Green is still the best of his time and space; not counting the elders (A. King, B. King, F. King, etc.) |
