Rory Gallagher: His Life and Times

A biography of Irish rock icon, Rory Gallagher. In this compelling account, contemporaries, fellow musicians, filmmaker Tony Palmer, and Taste drummer John Wilson talk about Rory from his meteoric rise in the 1960s with Taste to his remarkable solo career. This is a testament to the musical life of a shy and retiring working-class hero, distinguished by his checkered shirts and his astounding dexterity on acoustic and electric guitar - the guitarist and blues man who blazed a trail for others to follow. With many color photos.
