Rory Gallagar is the last really good guitar player that I don't really know. Yes, I love Clapton, Beck, Trower - but I've never heard much from Rory. But I will now start discovering some of his music. Any recommendations for a R.G. album to start out with? Your blog is awesome!
Well its always difficult Tim to recommend but -
In the UK - anything with the BBC monicker on it is usually excellent
or
The Irish Tour
but then I always like live performances
