”As if fated to live the blues he studied so deeply, Rory Gallagher was beautiful, talented and doomed. He was just 47 years old when died after a liver transplant surgery in 1995. But in a career that spanned from 1969 until his death, Gallagher compiled one hell of a legacy...”- Michael Molenda (Editor, Guitar Player Magazine), 2004.
