Rick Derringer: Gallagher, Marriott, Derringer & Trower (Rock Chronicles)

Rory Gallagher, Steve Marriott, Rick Derringer and Robin Trower are guitar legends. The glue behind legendary barn-busting, hard-touring outfits like Taste, The Small Faces, Procol Harum and Humble Pie, and later realizing their full potentials as solo artists, this is the first biography - group or otherwise - of four players whose dedication to music and screaming virtuosity has been inspirational to a generation of fans and admirers. Gallagher, Marriott, Derringer & Trower is a candid look at the lives of four men who combined have sold more than 60,000,000 albums. Each has a unique musical story to tell, from roots in American rhythm and blues and rock 'n' roll to the joys and perils of life on the road, as well as the pitfalls of fame and the music business. What makes their stories unique is their intense dedication to their art and the fact that the careers of these trailblazing guitarists have never been thoroughly covered in print. This is not a linear, album-by-album study. Rather, it is an in-depth conversation with the artists themselves and those closest to them, including band members, management, record executives, road managers, crew, producers, studio engineers, family and friends: fully authorized, revealing and straight from the source. Features fantastic photographs throughout, many never before seen. Dan Muise has spent his entire 25-year career in the music business covering radio, band management, production and record company promotion. He lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. (Hal Leonard)

Stage Struck Rory Gallagher

This disc features guitar genius Rory Gallagher at his best, in a typically dynamic set featuring some of his best songs. As always, Rory and the band are in fine form. However, I must concur with the reviewer from East Glenville on one major point. There is only one basic problem with this disc, which is that poor editing has removed Rory's spoken introductions from some tracks, and on "Shadow Play" (one of Rory's best rockers), the song simply fades out, an unsatisfactory ending to a great song. It would be nice to have a restored version of this disc; both Rory and his material deserve it. Notwithstanding that, the performances here are typical of the genius of Rory Gallagher, perhaps the most underrated artist of all time
A good percentage of Gallagher fans will agree with me that Rory's magic was most evident during his live performances and related live recordings. "Stagestruck" is less blues-tinged than his other live efforts. This album is fueled by the energy of rockers like "Shinkicker", "Moonchild" and "Bad Penny". The version of "Last of the Independents" is probably worth the price of the CD alone. His guitar work is ambitious and emotional. I recommend all of Rory's live work, but this is my favorite.
