Susan Whitall, Detroit News, March 1991
WHEN RORY Gallagher decides to take a flyer, he doesn't mess around. After years of soul-numbing touring up and down the American continent, the Irish blues guitarist bailed out, took a detour back to Europe and sequestered himself in the recording studio. For six years.
