As many of you know, I am a very big fan of Rory Gallagher (!), so this week to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of his 2nd solo album, Deuce, we have a 'Rory Special' with 5 tracks from that album plus a newly released version of I'm Not Awake Yet - Alternate Take 1. This was the first album of Rory's that I bought after seeing him perform on The Old Grey Whistle Test and, of course, I bought all his subsequent albums plus completed my catalogue with The Taste albums and Rory's first solo album.
PLUS
I have obtained an ident from Gerry McAvoy (the bass player on Deuce and many other Rory albums)
PLUS
I will be reading a quote from Rory explaining how his love of Blues came about
PLUS
Tracks from 4 people that inspired him Leadbelly, Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters and Jimmy Reed
PLUS
3 newbies to the DBRS/RRO from Bobby Dove, Demetria Taylor and Rose Thorn
PLUS
The usual suspects like Emma Wilson, Rebecca Downes, Xander, Danny Bryant, Bernie Marsden, Donna Herula etc
PLUS
An hour long Live At The Docs Blues Bowl featuring The Nimmo Brothers, The Wilson Brothers, King King, Joe Bonamassa and Albert King.
Come and join me on the 1st and the 3rd Mondays of the month, for 3 plus hours of awesome Blues and Blues-Rock, only on RevolutionONE.
