Our Take

Irish blues legend Rory Gallagher returns with his sophomore album, "Deuce," and it's a wild ride from start to finish. From the gritty opening track "I'm Not Awake Yet," to the soulful ballad "It Takes Time," Gallagher's masterful guitar work shines throughout.

On "In Your Town," Gallagher channels his inner rock god, delivering a blistering performance that will leave you breathless. The raw energy of tracks like "Crest of a Wave" and "Used to Be" showcase Gallagher's versatility as a musician, seamlessly blending blues, rock, and folk influences into a sound that is uniquely his own.

But it's not all high-octane riffs and fiery solos on "Deuce." Gallagher also shows his softer side on tracks like "Should've Learnt My Lesson," where his emotive vocals and heartfelt lyrics tug at the heartstrings.

Overall, "Deuce" is a captivating album that cements Rory Gallagher's status as a true rock and blues icon. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, this album is sure to impress with its infectious grooves and undeniable charm. So crank up the volume, grab a pint, and let Rory Gallagher take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Rory Gallagher

Rory Gallagher, the Irish blues-rock sensation, was a force to be reckoned with on the music scene in the 1970s. With his fiery guitar solos, soulful vocals, and electrifying stage presence, Gallagher captured the hearts of fans across the globe. Born in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, Gallagher's musical journey began at a young age when he started playing guitar and honing his craft. His early influences ranged from blues legends like Muddy Waters and Lead Belly to rock gods like Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones. Gallagher's dynamic live performances were legendary, with his signature Fender Stratocaster blazing through hits like "Bad Penny" and "A Million Miles Away." He was known for his improvisational skills, often stretching songs into epic jams that left audiences in awe. But it wasn't just his musical prowess that endeared Gallagher to fans - it was also his down-to-earth personality and humble attitude. Despite achieving international success, he remained grounded and approachable, earning him a devoted following. Sadly, Gallagher's life was cut short in 1995 when he passed away at the age of 47. However, his legacy lives on through his timeless music and the countless artists he influenced. From Slash to The Edge, Gallagher's impact on the rock and blues world is undeniable. So, whether you're a die-hard fan or new to Gallagher's discography, take a journey through his back catalogue and discover the magic of this guitar virtuoso. Rory Gallagher may be gone, but his music will forever echo through the halls of rock 'n' roll history.
