CD Reviews

Killer blues-rockers from Rory

Brian Jones | port stanley,on canada | 08/09/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Essential

Double-cd set spanning Rory's solo years.Good mix of live & studio tracks

including some of his best acoustic material.All-out rockers like Cradle Rock,Shadow Play and Follow Me ride alongside smokin' bluesrockers such as Laundromat,Bullfrog Blues and Loanshark Blues.Some low-down & dirty,

slow blues with I Could've Had Religion,from a smouldering live set.Really

you can't go wrong here.Good sound."

Great Blues-Rock

"I was previously unaware of Rory Gallagher. He is a great guitar player who reminds me of Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore. This music certainly isn't Blues, but can be classified as Blues-Rock. Favorites of mine are "Wheels Within Wheels", "As The Crow Flies", "Edged In Blue" and "Loanshark Blues". Please pick up this album if you are interested in hearing an Irish Blues-Rock musician with excellent guitar skills and a solid voice. He certainly beats anything Thorogood has done in ages!"
