I put this album on my iPod from my dads copy about 2 months ago and since then several songs have made it onto my most played. This 2 disk compilation gives a very good representation of Gallagher's extensive career and shows off his natural ability very well. I goes from the more 'rock' songs such as 'Moonchild' and 'Philby' to straight blues classics like 'Bad Penny' and 'Bullfrog Blues. It also shows his more sensitive side with acoustic tracks like 'Out on the Western Plain'. It also has several live tracks that display the amazing energy in his performances he was renowned for, 'I Could Have Had Religion' goes off on a tangent into an 8 minute display of his amazing talent. This album is perfect for anyone interested in getting a good flavour of his career without spending too much on several albums.
