Rory Gallagher ππΈπ
Fun quote of Roger Glover about Rory: "I produced the album, Calling Card by Rory Gallagher in 1976, but I knew him before that. When he was Taste, he supported DP quite a few times in the early 70s, then, as just Rory Gallagher, he did at least two long US tours with us...There was no 'show business' about Rory - he didn't worry about looks, clothes, image etc., his battered Strat said all he had to say to the world. I got to know him better when we recorded Calling Card at Musicland Studios in Munich. The band were a very tightly knit group and all unswervingly loyal to Rory. There was an innocence about him that belied his devilish sense of humour, so he could often catch people off guard, but he bore no malice towards anyone. He wasn't shy of taking a musical chance, but his inherent sense of taste shaped it all to suit himself. He was always, always an optimist, always ready for a drink and a laugh, always ready to get up and play. Somehow he carried with him the atmosphere of the pubs and clubs that were his natural element. He loved the blues and he could play guitar like the hero he really was."
