When Rory Gallagher died from complications following a liver transplant in 1995 at only 47 years old, the music world lost one of its most influential and respected guitarists. Apocryphal evidence suggests that Hendrix rated Gallagher above himself: "How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher." —Jimi Hendrix quote from 1969 Rolling Stone magazine interview shortly after Woodstock. Numerous respected guitarists cite him as having influenced their sound including Brian May, Eric Clapton and The Edge from U2. He appears in many fan-voted best guitarist lists and remains the personification of the razzled Irish blues-rock musician.
He was born in Ballyshannon, Ireland, raised in Cork and cut his teeth in the show bands of Ireland in the 60s playing popular hits of the day. He went on to form Taste to much commendation, but by 1968 he had left them and was performing solo. He released his debut solo album Rory Gallagher in 1971 and this marked a prolific period for him; he released 10 albums during the 70s.
However, though his albums were well received, it was his dedication to his performances which earned him his stripes. Above all, Rory was the showman's showman. ---amazon.com
