	Blues-Rock Explosion - Rory Gallagher, Taste
		Gallagher was eager to perform rhythm and blues and rock numbers, but he had to cater to public expectations and perform the popular hits of the day, including some dreaded novelty numbers.
		Gallagher had played with both musicians while they were still with the Axels, filling in for their guitarist on some remaining dates before they disbanded.
		Gallagher has all the makings, all the trimmings, all the texture to be an absolute monster, and this first album since the fall of Taste is yet another pointer in that direction." Reaction in the U.S. was less enthusiastic, and Lester Bangs greeted the release with downright hostility.

	A "National" holiday with Rory Gallagher
		Paul Fenton considers Rory to be his main musical mentor, since it was after seeing the Celtic tornado in Toronto in 1972 that he decided to make music his life and took up the guitar with an enthusiasm that still amazes the uninitiated.
		There stood Rory, cocky, Remy Martin shots in one mitt, beer chaser in the other (an empty 40-ouncer on the table) kibitzing with a gaggle of local Irish friends, one of whom was teasing him mercilessly.
		Rory paid little attention to his concern or the supper the man brought in, instead he continued to play various guitars, and even offered us his supper and the Heinekens brought with it.

	Rory Gallagher MP3 Downloads - Rory Gallagher Music Downloads - Rory Gallagher Music Videos
		Rory Gallagher's solo debut picks up where his previous band's On The Boards left off - it's a solid, but significantly less raucous, blues rock outing with ten original tunes that were far more than skeletons for his incisive Strat picking.
		In this respect Gallagher was an early model for Eric Clapton, whose solo career followed a similar path.
		Brother/compiler Donal Gallagher's track notes are short but illuminating, and the remastered sound, although not as vibrant as on later reissues of Gallagher's catalog, is a big improvement over any existing version of this consistently superb album.

	Rory Gallagher : Tattoo - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Gallagher's work ethic was in high gear as he somehow found time to write nine more songs in the midst of non-stop touring for his second album released in 1973.
		The double whammy of the album's two crunching leadoff tracks, "Tattoo'd Lady" and "Cradle Rock" illustrate just how comfortable Gallagher is with his backing group, and the smooth-rolling unplugged guitar and harmonica of "20-20 Vision" proves that the blues rocker is a more than adequate Delta/folk musician.
		Short but informational track-by-track liner notes from Gallagher's brother Donal and crisp remastered sound makes this an essential purchase for established fans and an excellent place to start for new Rory Gallagher listeners.

		Gallagher's creative juices were still hot after after just breaking up his band Taste, who were just about to attain international success when they broke up because of management and musical differences within the band.
		Rory Gallagher never released a bad CD (Big Guns being the possible exception), however, this gem renders the others, themselves all time classics, second rate.
		Gallagher was especially eloquent on guitar, whether acoustic or electric, but the dude could also wail on the sax and was a very accomplished mandolin player as well.
