Zu den Stücken von Rory Gallagher kann man auf der HP folgendes nachlesen:

1. MESSIN' WITH THE KID
Rory Gallagher was, for those of you who don't know, an Irish blues guitarist who happened to be my first album purchase and first concert experience. He always played "Messin' With The Kid" in concert, and always differently each time, too. For many years I thought that it was a song that he wrote. The version I recorded owes a lot more to Rory's interpretation than to the Junior Wells version that made the song popular. Confused? I was, too, especially as I later found out that Junior Wells didn't write the song either! Apparently it was written by a chap called Melvin London, whose version I have yet to hear. Enjoy.

3. CALLING CARD
As I mentioned before, Rory Gallagher gave me my first taste (no pun intended) of the power of rock and blues. He was most certainly a blues man, although he brought a strong rock edge into everything he played. "Calling Card" was the title track of his 1976 album, one of several records that I shamelessly plagiarized as a guitar-hungry kid. Although this song might seem a strange choice to those who are familiar with his work, to me it showed Rory's willingness to stretch out a bit, and on this song he fuses a jazzy style to his blues chops.
