Although he’s often excluded from lists and polls that rate the upper echelon of blues-rock guitar heroes, the late, great Rory Gallagher 1948-1995 certainly deserves that honor.Why? Consider the Irish blues-rocker’s pedigree. It includes the formation of rock’s first power trio in 1966 one that would become John Lennon’s favorite band three years later, dethroning Eric Clapton as Melody Maker’s Musician of theYear in 1972, recording with and being asked to join the Rolling Stones as Mick Taylor’s replacement in 1975, and perhaps most important, his emergence as the era’s first Strat cat to eschew Marshall and Hiwatt stacks in favor of small Vox and Fender combo amps. Now you can begin to understandwhyworld-class players from Clapton who credits Gallagher for getting him back into the blues and Brian May who claims he appropriated his sound from R.G. to Johnny Marr and Slash have been singing Gallagher’s praises for up to four decades.
