Rory Gallagher - Live! In Europe.
Vinyl 1972

Time to dust off some old blues rock albums. One of my all time guitar heroes. Sad he passed away. Saw several if his gigs. Great performer. Always gave 200% on stage.

Sonics from this record are much better than their first album IMHO.
And since I’ve learnt this album was recorded at Miraval studio by Jacques Loussier and his team (when he was owning the Studio - now belonging to Brad Pitt), it’s as if the sound was even better! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Qobuz album of the week.

I’m not overly keen on the (rather out of tune) vocals, but I like the music, which is arranged (with some compositions) by Kamasi Washington.

Wolf Alice’s “The Clearing” - my absolute favourite new album of the year. It’s just brilliant!!
The track “The Sofa” especially, is IMHO an instant classic.

Yet another recording masterpiece from Sound Liaison.
Suddenly discovering in background the musicians breathing and quietly whistling the tune while playing their instruments is an absolute delight!
