Free Music Review: Wonderful "New" Rory CD
Hit: 5 Stars

Rory G (sadly deceased as of 95 and sorely missed) was The Flannel King of Irish Blues in a career that spanned 20-some years, from Cream-alike power trio Taste to his own solo band, hand-in-glove backed by longtime compadres Gerry McAvoy on bass, Lou Martin on keys, with drums handled first by Rod de'Ath and later by Ted McKenna. Besides being one of the last remaining virtuoso players to work his wizardry on a Telecaster (as opposed to the standard Les Paul or Strat), Rory had an uncanny knack for threading currents of heavy rock and Irish folk into his otherwise-impeccable take on Delta blues: what usually came out of the speakers was a magical, life-affirming, ringing-toned storm of notes that put enough of an individual stamp on those moss-backed blues chords and progressions to make the form seem excitingly fresh and new. Though Rory never Americanized his sound to the extent his record label would've liked, his unerring instinct for raucous riff and gorgeous melody alike seduces the listener immediately, even 30 years later. It's more than riffing and solos you respond to on a Rory record, though. What you're REALLY hearing in "Cradle Rock" and "Moonchild" is the sum total of one man's emotional, spiritual and creative being - everything he was and ever wanted to be - transmuted into music and captured for all time on wax (or digibits, or whatEVER the hell's in a CD that makes sound come out when you zap it with a laser beam.) You graybeards out there are no doubt reading this and nodding your assent right about now. BBC SESSIONS collects two cds worth of live and one-take studio performances of any number of Gallagher classics, among them "Calling Card", "Race the Breeze", "Daughter of the Everglades" and "Jack Knife Beat", to name four at random. All versions are expanded from their already-impressive lp versions, oozing with feel, improvisation, invention and audacity. This sucker will leave a newcomer a goofy-grinning Rory Gallagher fan for life. You might even begin wearing buttondown flannel shirts again, now that Seattle's safely in pop culture's rear-view mirror and receding further with each passing day. Hey, would I lie to you? Go get this affordable twofer and begin saving your green stamps for the rest of his back-catalog....and light a candle in remembrance for a musician whose like we won't see again, at least in this world.
