Big Guns: The Very Best of Rory Gallagher

by

Rory Gallagher

Edit

Whoever give the go ahead to release this album must need their head or maybe ears examined.

Is this money talking ? something that Rory never cared about that much.

What a blight on the genius that was Rory Gallagher.

There is certainly nothing enhanced about this release and anyone coming to Rory G for the first time would be quickly turned off by what is probaly one of the worst Rory releases of all time.

For all the high tech jiggery pokery poured into this it falls far short of almost every other Rory release.

Agreeing with another reviewer I have to say that the remixed Tatoo'd Lady intro is apalling and pales into insignificance compared to the original.

Often Rory's guitar solos are set too far back in the mix and his power and skill are not heard for what they truly are.

As fairly hardcore Rory fan for nearly thirty years I would have to say give this one a miss, and if you want to hear the true Rory Gallagher genius purchase almost anything else by him.

I returned mine the following day, something I have done many times with other artists but never with Rory.

Shame!
