There's something about being in that state of not being awake and not quite being asleep. Those night's of being up at 4:00am, a good buzz, the moon shining down on frozen packed snow outside. Rory Gallagher will give you that same feeling. I have never seen a guitarist put raw emotion into his playing like Rory. Sure there are others that play with fiery passion. SRV and Koss come to mind, But Rory is in a league of his own. A true master of the blues and country styles, he never achived the household name recognition that some musicians had. Maybe that's the way he wanted it. When Jimi Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the best guitar player in the world, he replied, "Why don't you ask Rory Gallagher"
So take a listen to Rory and his trusty Strat and drift a million miles away!

I must admit I never heard of him, but now that I have, I'm going to find out more about him.

ReplyDeleteRory was an amazing musician and was a walking encyclopedia of Blues and folk music.
