Calling Card: Rory Gallagher’s Career Celebrated on New Compilation Due This Week

October 6, 2020 by Sam Stone | 16 Comments

When Jimi Hendrix was asked what it was like to be the best guitarist in the world, he replied, “I don’t know, why don’t you go and ask Rory Gallagher.” Despite the indelible mark left by the Irish blues-rocker, Gallagher tends to be unfairly cast aside. UMe have done their part with acclaimed collections like last year’s Blues and the 2020 live set Check Shirt Wizard – Live In ’77. This Friday, October 9, the label will release a new career-spanning collection: The Best Of Rory Gallagher. The album will be available…

Off The Handle: Rory Gallagher Rarities Collection “Blues” Arrives From UMC

June 3, 2019 by Sam Stone | 1 Comment

Eric Clapton once described Rory Gallagher as “the man who got me back into the blues.” Though he never reached the same “household name” fame as Clapton or other contemporaries, Irish guitar legend Gallagher led a movement back to blues roots that began with his band Taste and continued on throughout his solo career from 1971 to 1994. To commemorate 50 years since Gallagher began his recording, UMC has released a new collection that mines the vaults of the celebrated singer and instrumentalist in search of his most bluesy fare. Appropriately titled…
