Rory was able to change styles and play almost any kind of music.All of his albums are very good I dont think you Would be dissapointed with any of his works.I would start with his live albums if you want to capture Rory at his best.....
Live in Europe
Irish Tour
Live at the BBC
Stage Struck
If you want to start with studio albums here are the first ones I would reccomend ......
Tatto
Rory Gallagher
Calling Card
Photo Finish
Top Priority
All good choices, Gazza. I would just add one more to your list: "Against the Grain."
Thanks guys!.........I already downloaded an MP3 of Garbage Man from BBC Sessions....
Rory's got some great tone too..........Besides a Strat, what else did he use?
For electrics, he mostly went for the Strats, but I have seen him with a Tele.
Also known to work a National Steel; quite a slide player, too.
If you want some really old Rory Gallagher, look up the band "Taste" - critically acclaimed with a cult following.
Yep, also a early 60's National electric, a LP Jr, a Gretsch Corvette, Martin D35, Takamine A/E, Martin Mandolin, '57 Strat, '55 Esquire, a 30's National Resonator.
Ok, What about amps?
Vox AC30, Low Power Tweed Twin, Tweed Bassman, Tweed Deluxe, Marshall Combos, Marshall 100 watt head & 4x12 bottom (or two) for large halls, Stramp, Ampeg V4.
Bassman,Vox AC-30,Marshall superleads,Marshall bluesbreaker, and some others I cant think of at the moment.
Rory also played a hammered dulcimer!
Rory also played saxaphone,and a coral sitar.
I can vouch for Rory's BBC Sessions. You won't be disappointed with this album!
Yowza!:bigal
Yeah, I'm probably gonna go for the BBC Sessions. There are a lot of good BBC albums out there.......... Hendrix and Zeppelin come to mind...:wail2
BBC would be a great start,do it!:tw59
Don't forget Rory also blew a mean harp!
glad to see rory get the attention!!!!!! jcs
He deserves it more than ANYONE!
