...Amazing guitar based blues-simple and memorable,Personally this is my favourite RoryGallagher album/era and a great introduction to Rory's playing.As far as i know this is his first solo album.
The track listing is
One. Laundromat
Two. Just The Smile
Three. Hands Up
Four. For The Last Time
Five. It's You
Six. I'm Not Surprised
Seven. Can't Believe It's True
Eight. Gypsy Woman
Nine. It Takes Time
The recording quality is amazing,For then or now.It was released in 1971.
Every song has a unique feel to it and he gets an amazing array of tones and textures out of his strat.If you play the guitar and like the bleus im sure you'll like this album
The album makes Rory come across as a very traditional traveling bluesman...

...Santa at last gave me this DVD, although the Santa looked not unlike me. As with RoryGallagherLive at the Rock Palast, this collection of electrifying performances once again sets the standard that others should aspire to, although many of them clearly do not even try. It also reminds me, miserable old sod that I am, why I find it so hard to get worked up about bands such as Maximo Park, Coldplay, Embrace, the Doves, the sad American geek punkers like Fall Out Boy, Bowling For Soup, no-hopers like Linkin Park and Green Day and, going back, such appalling aural assaults such as the hugely over-rated Clash and 99% of those pathetic punk rockers. Why are they all such feeble musicians? Why can none of the bass players play bass? Anybody put on their Slits or Adverts LP lately? No? Never Mind the Bollocks? No? The only thing to say about...

...It is impossible to review this item fairly without some background.
Ever since I saw Rory and an early Taste (with Norman Damery and Eric Kitteringham) at the Woburn Abbey Festival in 1968, when, in my opinion, he absolutely blew an off-form Jimi Hendrix off the stage, I followed his career avidly, as I did those of Eric Clapton, Peter Green, BB King, Otis Rush and many other great blues players. I saw him play nearly 40 times and while I do not claim to have known him well, he always remembered my name, shared many a pint in the Ship in Wardour Street next to the old Marquee and we had a great evening and meal in Salisbury.
Hardly ever did I think that Rory's recorded output came anywhere near his live work, except for, perhaps, Irish Tour '74 (which was, of course, live!), which was recorded on film by Tony Palmer. Some love this...
