Artist Info

William Rory Gallagher (2 March 1948 – 14 June 1995) was an Irish blues-rock multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and bandleader. Born in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, and raised in Cork, Gallagher recorded solo albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s, after forming the band Taste during the late 1960s. He was a talented guitarist known for his charismatic performances and dedication to his craft. Gallagher's albums have sold in excess of 30 million copies worldwide. Gallagher received a liver transplant in 1995, but died of complications later that year in London, UK at the age of 47.
(Allmusic)

One of the most criminally underrated guitar players of the twentieth century, his prodigious talent was matched by his work ethic; Dylan might have coined the phrase ‘Never Ending Tour’, but Gallagher’s life was very much the embodiment of it. When he died in 1995, he left no immediate family - the only marriage he’d had was to the road - but his influence was profound, with Slash, Johnny Marr and Brian May heading up an impressive list of musicians to have acknowledged his significance. One can only assume that his refusal to commit fully to either blues or hard rock might have cost him a more prominent place in either genre’s history.
