Free Music Review: IF YOU LOVE CLASSIC ROCK, YA GOTTA HEAR THIS!
Hit: 5 Stars
If there was a band that defined what 70's rock was all about, it was Taste. They've often been called Ireland's answer to Britain's superstar band Cream. I think they were better than Cream in every way. With Rory Gallagher on guitar, John Wilson, formerly of Them on drums, and ex Spencer Davis bassist Charlie Mccracken, they were considered the hottest live act in Europe at the time. The big reason for this was Gallagher's improvisational abilities with the six string. There was nothing fancy about this band. They didn't wear matching suits or the psychedelic clothes that were the popular attire of the day. They were just a hard workin' blue collar band with Gallagher wearing his trademark red flannel shirt on stage with his lunch pail called a '61 Fender Stratocaster. Gallagher was different than the superstar guitar players of the time like Clapton, Page, and Peter Green, who got a lot of their influences from the Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf school of Chicago blues. Gallagher loved the southern rural/ country blues of Son House and Big Joe Williams. It shows here on the feelgood acoustic song "I'm Movin' On" and the equally wonderful "Hail" where he sings note for note with his guitar. The trademark sound of Taste though was blues rock. Gallagher has to be the most aggressive guitar player that I've ever heard in the blues rock genre. Good examples of this are the opener "Blister On The Moon" and "Born On The Wrong Side Of Town". But he can also get very creative, as on the catchy "Railway and Gun". A killer tune with it's numerous rhythm changes. He also shows his creative side on the jazzy "It Happened Before, It'll Happen Again", which is Taste's most experimental song. It really swings, and it's probably Gallagher's finest moment on the six string. The only knock I have here is the same as one of the other reviewers pointed out. He shouldn't have picked up an Alto Sax he was just learning to play and attempted a solo. But hey, it was the 70's. They did those things. Sometimes they worked, sometimes not. But that's the only knock that I have on this excellent Best Of collection. If you want to hear why Rory Gallagher was considered by many to be one of the alltime best guitar players, just check this album out. It should be on all lovers of classic rock wish lists.
