    Rory Gallagher - Live (generally known as Live In Europe)

    On what would have been Rory's 78th birthday, it seems appropriate to play this, the first album of his I bought.
    I'd just seen him do two sets at the Great Western Express festival near Lincoln in May 1972. As I remember, I bought the album from the very young Virgin Records, when it was a cut price mail order company taking out full page ads in the Melody Maker and other music press.
    It's a US pressing, and in remarkably good nick considering the almost constant playing it got from me as a 17 year old.

  4. Blueprint

    The 4th from one of my favorite guitarists is released on February 18, 1973. Blueprint saw Roryt incorporating a keyboardist into his band for the first time. The album's title and artwork were inspired by the blueprint of a custom Stramp "Power Baby" amplifier designed for Gallagher. Turn it up.

  5. Deuce

    Rory's second is released on November 28, 1971. While contemporary reviews were mixed, the album has become an iconic part of Gallagher's catalog, praised by fans and fellow guitarists like Johnny Marr for its intensity and integrity.

  6. Photo-Finish

    It's a shin-kick morning ... Rory Gallagher releases his 9th album on October 1, 1978. It's a course change for Rory. Most of the songs on Photo-Finish are older songs but he wasn't happy with them. He hired a new drummer and keyboarder and went back to the "power trio" set-up of his early days. Good move. Turn it up. Listen to Photo Finish by Rory Gallagher on Amazon Music ... #RoryGallagher #photofinish #70srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky

    Top Priority - Rory Gallagher

    Released #OnThisDay, 14th September 1979, Rory's label at the time, Chrysalis, promised to make promotion of this album their top priority after a successful American tour.
    The albums title was his not so subtle reminder of this promise.

  10. Cork Rocks for Rory!

    This year marks the 30th anniversary of the passing of Rory Gallagher, a legend in rock and roll, at a relatively young age.
