Customer Reviews

guitar slinger as singer/songwriter

I believe Rory Gallagher was still a boy when he recorded this -- something like 17 years old. The playing and singing is much more laid back overall than on his later and better known recordings. There are some lovely songs here and yes, the ballads are the standouts, especially (in my opinion) I Fall Apart and For the Last Time. There are also four (!) acoustic tunes that all rank with his best. In spite of the raucous signature tracks Laundromat and Sinner Boy, this almost feels like a by-the-fireplace-in-the-living-room recording of a (bluesy) talented singer-songwriter. Rory is in fine, relaxed voice and even the guitar leads tend to be simple and understated. Best of all, for the first and last time in his career, there isn't a dud song here! Although, for me, the new additions don't contribute enough to warrant their inclusion. Perhaps also because this record should properly end with Can't Believe It's True, like it originally did.

Response to the other review

Rory Gallhager is 23 when he recorded this.

How had I never heard of him?

I only heard of Rory a few weeks ago when there was a short article about him in Guitar world, where he was collapsed to SRV. No disrespect to Stevie, who I love, but Rory is far more melodic, and this whole album is so fantastic and diverse I might like it more that Texas Flood. Amazing!
