RORY GALLAGHER
Tattoo was the fourth studio album released by Rory Gallagher. The original version contained nine tracks, all of which were written by Rory Gallagher (two extra tracks were added to the remastered version which were not originals). The album showcased the skill of Gallagher and his band across a number of genres from Delta and Chicago blues ("Who's That Coming"), the jazz-influenced "They Don't Make Them Like You Anymore", blues-rock tracks such as "Tattoo'd Lady" and the riff rock shown in "Sleep on a Clothes-Line". The album also showcased Rory's writing ability and some tracks have gone on to be covered by modern artists, most famously, "Cradle Rock" which was covered by Joe Bonamassa on the album A New Day Yesterday, Live. This album gave Rory Gallagher many live favourites and many tracks were played as staples in his live sets.

-----------------------
Rory Gallagher siempre ha sido uno de nuestros referentes, desde TASTE , sin ir mas lejos fué uno de nuestros primeros posts, corría allá por el año 2006 concretamente el 30 de Julio , va ha hacer ya 6 añitos ....que venimos dando guerra. En otras ocasiones os hemos hablado de él, Agosto y Octubre en 2010 etc.
Aprovechando que una revista nacional de gran tirada nos ofrece un reportaje sobre él, recordamos aquí su excelente albúm, TATTOO y una de las piezas que lo componen 20:20 Vision , en la misma podemos disfrutar de un Rory acústico, que toca la armónica y un buen soporte "swinguineando" de piano de Lou Martin, presente a lo largo de todo el tema .Está considerado por la crítica , como uno de sus mejores discos, sino el mejor , y creemos que se puede encontrar por ahí reeditado.... Vale la pena !
