Rory Gallagher - The Essential [2CD] (2008)



As if fated to live the blues he studied so deeply, Rory Gallagher was beautiful,

talented and doomed. He was just 47 years old when died after a liver transplant

surgery in 1995. But in a career that spanned from 1969 until his death,

Gallagher compiled one hell of a legacy. The Irish guitarist was a prolific

music maker, recording 17 albums under his own name, and two studio albums

with his early blues-rock trio, Taste. He also appeared on two seminal blues

recordings: Muddy Waters' The London Sessions in 1972, and Albert King Live in

1977."

Ballyshannon blues man Gallagher was a true people’s hero, loved by superstars

and the common man alike. In Ireland during the dark sectarian days of the 70s,

Rory’s shows were healing ceremonies, uniting warring communities in glorious love

and abandon. This terrific mix of live and recorded gems is the perfect way of

introducing a new generation to a man who died in 1995, but whose musical soul

will outlast every one of us – and sectarian bigots.
