Great reaction! Rory is well worth a deep dive, a self taught multi instrumentalist, singer and songwriter, he excelled in a range of styles, electric Blues, acoustic country Blues, Rock, with some jazz and folk influences and a bit of funk here and there. He was all about the music, wasn't interested in showbiz 'celebrity' nonsense and is described by anyone who knew or met him as a 'gentleman', as in 'a gentle man' , quiet and polite offstage, dynamite onstage. You might want to look again at the lyrics of this song though, it's clearly about someone having their heart broken (many of Rory's songs are from the viewpoint of a fictitious character, some are personal, but he never said which ones) "It ain't too funny when you'd rather die, Ain't no pleasure when your girl don't reply, To your lovesick letter, that you wrote in tears..." A few suggestions for future reactions... As the Crow Flies Irish Tour 74 (acoustic) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHW6pKWimZulg7s A Million Miles Away Irish Tour 74 (live album) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4vClaWiaNGoq6c All Around Man - Old Grey Whistle Test 1976 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZiViX2gnJeoedU Bullfrog Blues - Old Grey Whistle Test kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJjWooGCq8h-ipI Do You Read Me - Rock Goes To College 1979 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPZeJqPbch-d9k I Wonder Who - Belfast 1984 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3rcoapsj7V0htE You mentioned Brian May being influenced by Rory, here's an interview where he talks about it, and one from Alex Lifeson from Rush Brian May on Rory Gallagher & Taste kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKmqZaCkopWVeLM Alex Lifeson talks about Rory Gallagher kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGispXpqn66ZeZI Hope that's useful.

Thank you for the reaction! Rory was a magician on the guitar and his band was very tight. Rory was equally at home on acoustic guitar (listen to any live version of Pistol Slapper Blues such as kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKmmmYZ8aqyIeJo) or even a mandolin (Goin' to My Hometown with the audience participation kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2Omqot9q5qZe7s). For an electrified rock performance, check out "Do You Read Me?" from the 1979 Rock Goes to College performance. The link to Brian May talking about Rory is kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKmqZaCkopWVeLM.

Brian May met Rory as a teen and said he owes his sound to Rory (nice catch) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWPCkmerrN1_qas (Brian May) welcome to the late great Rory, has to be said the man is at his best live ;')

The middle g is silent, Gallaher is the pronunciation.

[@PhiliminizzyReacts]

Thanks Allan for cleritying that..any suggestions you want me to check out?

[@gkitteringham]

@@PhiliminizzyReacts Suggest A million miles away, and Bullfrog Blues. Live versions would be best as Rory was essentially a live artist.
