I saw this interview and decided to look into Gallagher. So far, so Great.

Nobody here is a fan of Rory Gallagher or his music?
Big fan - he was a helluva player. I think Calling Card was the best studio LP but there's plenty to love building up to that. The live albums are legendary.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
I have all RG studio albums. I'd recommend for a beginner to start with Deuce, his second album.
so far I have Deuce, Calling Card, Fresh Evidence, & the London Muddy Waters Sessions. I also have disc 1 of the '74 Irish Tour 7-disc set, which I don't know yet if I'm going to put the rest together or just buy it. Rory was G.R.E.A.T.
Live ! In Europe was a splendid lp.
And Rory certainly matched it in concert in 1973.
Great player & I heard a great bloke too with his fans
Calling Card, Against The Grain and Photo Finish are my favorites of his studio albums. Irish Tour is one of the all time great double live albums.
I've never got much from the studio stuff - like a lot of great blues players I think he shone live.
The Irish Tour deluxe set is a desert island disc.
Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?
One thing with On The Boards, on some songs it has a jazz influence which he never really returned to again. That's a shame.
Taste (support from The Groundhogs) was the first concert I ever went to, late 1969. Been a big Rory fan ever since.
