Gallagher and Lyle: Music For The People
Dave Laing, Let It Rock, April 1974
BENNY GALLAGHER and Graham Lyle aren't singer-songwriters, they're songwriters who sing. They are not really interested in the idea of baring their souls before the record buying public. Instead they make songs which leave you space to move around in and, in Benny's words, "titillate your thought ends."
