New Blues-Based Rory Gallagher Collection featuring Previously Unreleased Tracks from His Archive, a Special Guest Session with Muddy Waters & Lost Radio Sessions!
From the vaults of the Rory Gallagher estate's tape archive comes this 15-track, 180g 2LP collection of rare and unreleased recordings of the legendary singer/guitarist playing his favorite blues material. Ranging from never heard before tracks to special guest sessions with legendary blues artists like Muddy Waters, and lost radio sessions, this album uncovers Gallagher's love of the blues throughout his solo career from 1971 right through to 1994. The trailblazing Irish musician's love of the blues also rubbed off on his contemporaries. Eric Clapton described him as "The man who got me back into the blues," while Bob Geldof has said: "It's not too much to say that what like Hendrix did for the electric blues, Rory did in an Irish context. You know Hendrix was the great originator, he sort of did field hollers for the space age you know. But Rory absolutely injected some Irish thing into it."
