Rory Gallagher - A Tribute
Rory Gallagher was my first exposure to blues. While the other kids were discovering music and finding the likes of “The Osmond Brothers” or “The Monkees” I was lucky enough to get turned on to some Rory Gallagher and have fond memories of partying to tunes like “20/20 Vision” and “Bullfrog Blues” from these two fine albums. Amazingly these are still available - a tribute in itself.
I guess I was always afraid to find out what happened to Rory Gallagher after enjoying his music so much as kid. When a myspace friend stirred my memories I started a post about Rory here. When I went to wikipedia and discovered his death was alcohol related the irony and sadness was too much for me and I decided I’d have to finish the post later. So that’s the story - enjoy this widget with tunes from an incredible rock blues star. Pick up some Rory Gallagher for some party rocking blues.
Thanks Rory, may you rest in peace.
