First love.. December 3, 2008
I've loved this album for a long time. Before the sound became diluted by keyboards. The acoustic tracks are memorable. 'Just A Smile' was written about my first missus. Rory fell in love with an earlier incarnation!
Guitar Master. February 2, 2008
Quite simply a guitar genius at work. If the guitar is your instrument and you like the blues you will surely love this album. Quite outstanding.
"Gallagher at his belting best" September 4, 2007

As a huge Rory fan, this album remains my all time favourite! The sound is somewhat reminiscent of the days of Taste but the album is highly original in terms of writing and solo playing. Gallagher appears totally at ease producing incredible solos and enviably catchy riffs. On each track Gallagher succeeds in extricating different textures and sounds from his guitar work which has great energy and pace, well supported by his fellow musicians. The solos on "The Last Time" and "I fall apart" are really special. I hate to sound like a boring old fart (42) but people who were lucky enough to have seen Taste live or Gallagher in these early days of his career really saw an individual and original talent that is very seldom encountered today.
Gallagher at his best. April 19, 2003

His first, solo (post-Taste), I believe, and among the best. Gallagher comes across as your classic 'travelling bluesman'. He's got some stories to tell, and all he wants is a place to kip and a few shots of Paddy irish 'scotch' of whatever he used to drink (absolutely anything I suppose). From sleeping down in a laundrette "Its the crazienst place I have ever been " - 'Laundromat', to various meanderings about various women (or the same woman for all I know) he maintains the quality throughout. Like the majority of quality records it doesn't fit into a particular decade or time period. "It sounds like it was recorded yesterday", one could say. Rory plays some nice saxophone on 'Can't Believe...'. The second solo on 'Sinner Boy', a song about being nice to the homeless (I presume) is one of his most classic guitar moments, and thats saying something. Anyone who can play something that really rocks but which does not rely on volume or level of distortion to achieve it is the absolute don. It needs to be heard.
This album is the biz. Buy it now. January 3, 2001

Great stuff. Great mixture & guitar ability that's second only to Jimi Hendrix. Track #3 is the best; great solo & heartbreaking lyrics.
