Rory Gallagher's solo debut picks up where On The Boards left off - it's a solid, but significantly less

raucous, blues rock outing with ten original tunes that were far more than skeletons for his incisive Strat

picking. "Laundromat," "Hands Up," and "Sinner Boy"'s distinctive riffs were early concert favorites, but

the album's ballads were some of Gallagher's strongest. "For the Last Time," "Just the Smile" and the

acoustic "I'm Not Surprised" mixed strains of Delta blues with strong melodic sensibilities into songs of

rare poignancy, especially for an artist who was best known for his scorching leads. In this respect

Gallagher was an early model for Eric Clapton, whose solo career followed a similar path. Interestingly,

Gallagher seems rather restrained throughout his debut, holding back the fret-burning in favor of strong

songs. He opens up on the album's jazzy, seven-minute finale "Can't Believe It's You" which even features an

alto sax, an instrument Gallagher all but abandoned on later albums. 2000's reissued, remastered version of

the disc includes two additional tunes, Muddy Waters' slow Delta blues number "Gypsy Woman" and Otis Rush's

fast Chicago shuffle "It Takes Time," both cut at the same sessions. "Gypsy Woman"'s slashing slide guitar

and vocals sound as impassioned any other track; shuffle "It Takes Time" isn't quite as impressive but still

shows how comfortable Gallagher is with straight blues. Brother/compiler Donal Gallagher's track notes are

short but illuminating, and the remastered sound, although not as vibrant as on later reissues of

Gallagher's catalog, is a big improvement over any existing version of this consistently superb album.
