Chamada simplesmente de Blues, coleção traz o guitarrista irlandês Rory Gallagher em outtakes e gravações ao vivo inéditas com nomes como Muddy Waters, Albert King, Jack Bruce, Lonnie Donegan e Chris Barber
O blues é um ritmo que deu ao mundo guitarristas como Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Albert King, B.B. King e Jimi Hendrix, só para citar alguns. Dentre os grandes estava o irlandês Rory Gallagher (1948-1995).
Apesar de ter vendido milhões de discos e de ter se apresentado em vária partes do planeta, Gallagher é praticamente um desconhecido para o grande público. E olha que certa vez perguntaram para Jimi Hendrix: “Qual a sensação de ser o melhor guitarrista do mundo?” A resposta foi seca: “Eu não sei. Pergunte ao Rory Gallagher”.
O Blues de Gallagher
Agora, em 31 de maio, chega ao mercado (lá fora) a coletânea Blues, que reúne dezenas de faixas inéditas, entre outtakes de seus vários discos solo e gravações ao vivo. O aperitivo — Nothin’ But The Devil (faixa não lançada do álbum Against The Grain album (1975) — é delicioso.
Pela tracklist divulgada pela Universal Music (lá fora!), a carreira solo do músico (1971-1994.) vai ficar muito mais rica do que já é. Normalmente as gravações ao vivo de Rory são explosivas e não há porquê achar que essa nova safra será diferente.
