Inside Story Of The Lost Rory Gallagher Album
. Gallagher said in 1992 that he would be happy to release the material some day, provided it was remixed, but it took until this year for Rory's brother (and tour manager) Donal Gallagher to let the recording out into the world. "Rory had always harbored the ambition to make an album in the States," Donal says. "Through the early part of the '70s with Polydor that dream hadn't come to fruition, so when he switched labels in '75 to Chrysalis, he had two albums that were a strong success but weren't what you'd call chart breakthroughs." Rory had worked with a producer for the first time on Calling Card � Roger Glover of Deep Purple, in fact � but wasn't entirely happy with the mix of that record, so the idea of tracking the follow-up in America was flown up the pole. Chrysalis had been working with producer Elliot Mazer (Neil Young, Janis Joplin, Frank Sinatra) on a few other acts, and it just so happened that Mazer and Rory had hit it off during the final Taste tour a few years earlier. "In the course of that tour, Rory wasn't talking to too many people," Donal says. "The band had already split up, and were doing a farewell tour. So Rory spent his time with Elliot." Musically, Rory was very into American music, from Muscle Shoals to the blues, so he and Mazer had a lot to talk about. more. Gibson.com is an official news provider for the antiMusic.com.
