RORY GALLAGHER" U.S. 1971 LP (Atco) SD 33-368 M-/MINT!
Rory Gallagher was a shy unpretentious man from County Donegal, Ireland known as "The People's Guitarist". His playing was extremely powerful & today he is recognized as the finest guitarist to emerge from Ireland. He first gained fame as the front man for the Blues Rock power trio Taste in the late 60s & this album is his first solo effort after breaking up the band in 1971. It follows in much the same vein as Taste but with more emphasis on Rory's songwriting. Many of his signature tunes are here such as "Laundromat", "Hands Up" & "Sinner Boy". The band consisted of Rory on vocals, guitar, sax, harmonica & mandolin, Gerry McAvoy on bass, Wilgar Campbell on drums & Vincent Crane of Atomic Rooster on piano on two tracks. Produced by Rory Gallagher, engineered by Eddy Offord with the cover by Hipgnosis.
