THE BROTHER(AND SISTER-) HOOD
Simon Frith wrote in a recent Melody Maker, that he reckoned rock’s best moments were live, not recorded: “the lowliest band can, on the right night, achieve the impossible.” Probably the best way to introduce someone to Rory Gallagher would be to handcuff them, haul (their) ass to wherever in the world he’s playing and sit back—Rory’ll do all the work, and then some. Failing that, you’ll have to bear with me as I try to coax description out of words (troublesome) and images (subjective).
