| 'Deuce'was
the culmination of Rory's musical apprenticeship. He'd toured with an Irish
showband, released acclaimed records with 'Taste' and played the Isle of
Wight Rock Festival, but this was the first time he'd had the necessary
level of control, self belief and technical ability to record the album
he'd always wanted to.
In 1971 when he began working
on 'Deuce', he decided on a different approach to the recording
of his second album. His first album 'Rory Gallagher', had a precise,
organized sound. Rory was keen 'Deuce' would capture the raw energy
of a live performance. To achieve this, many of the sessions were recorded
just before or immediately after gigs and production was kept to a minimum.
The results were eclectic. |
