Rory Gallagher - The unlucky legend

Rory Gallagher is a music legend. People say he has been underrated and I agree. But who hasn't. We are here in 2011, more than 15 years after his early death, and we talk about him. His music lives on. His "soul" lives on through his music. Mr Gallagher is one of the most emotional people in the area of rock and blues. You can realise this immediately when watching a video of his. At the same time, he is (was) an unbelievable guitar player. An inspired composer. Unfortunately, everybody pays a price for achieving perfection. It seems that Rory was unlucky, tortured by our common enemy, life. At least, we were lucky to have him.
A million miles away (live from Irish Tour, 1974) - Emotion, Blues, Desperation.

Ain't Too Good - Well, this song brings back memories. Typical Gallagher.

Bad Penny (live) - We live and die for those bad pennies.

Can't Believe it's True - Let's say that this is a definition for progressive blues. Nonetheless, a very sentimental piece (well, this is the default for Rory Gallagher). One of my favourite songs for many other reasons.

Edged in Blue - Another epic piece of music. The introduction is inspiring.

For The Last Time - Yes, this song is awesome too. But I don't agree with the title.

I Fall Apart - One of those depressing ballads. Skip this song if you don't feel good. You'll get worse.

I'm Not Awake Yet - The way guitar is applied is pure art.

Moonchild (live) - Rory's landmark song probably. This live version is absolutely crazy. Recommended for reckless guitar lovers.

Philby - Definition of hard rock n' roll.

Shadow Play - Another hit from Mr Gallagher. Search for other versions too - they tend to be awesome.

Tattoo'd Lady (live from Irish Tour, 1974) - This song introduced a new world to me. Doesn't have to do with the lyrics, but it is all about timing and music twists.

What in the World - Nothing is more important than this. Nothing is more interesting.
