75 years ago today (3/2/48), the late Rory Gallagher was born. The unsung member of the late 60’s guitar gods including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, Gallagher’s profile has risen dramatically in the years following his untimely death in 1995. His guitar versatility and his inkling for taking the blues to a harder approach without ever selling out, make him perhaps the ultimate “punk” guitar hero. Check out “Shadowplay” live in 1979
