Live - TASTE****

Sugar Mama/Gamblin' Blues/I Feel So Good (Part One)/I Feel So Good (Part Two)/Catfish/Same Old Story

Live album release form the Irish blues rock group Taste, recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival shortly before they split in 1970. Guitarist Rory Gallagher would go on to enjoy a successful solo career. (UK:14)

“Musically, it's their standard brand of power-trio hard blues rock.”

“Rory is amazing on stage. This live album proves it. It’s a pity that this release is so short, I would have listened to much more of this.”

“A good album; Gamblin' Blues is a particular favourite and Rory's version of Catfish is well worth a listen. It rocks as hard as the studio albums, but not too different.”

“As they did so many times before, Taste did not disappoint. A truly remarkable performance from this powerful trio, recorded live in a Swiss casino. Gallagher’s guitar as usual is stunning and razor sharp, alongside the heavy support, playing their usual set, apparently their last concert together.”

“I found this to be a great introduction to early Rory Gallagher work. Great blues-rock from one of the pillars of the genre. My only wish is that it was longer.”

“Fabulous powerhouse trio recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in the early 70s. Rory Gallagher has never received the accolades he truly deserved for his emotive mix of blues, rock and jazz guitar. OK, he couldn't sing, but boy could he play.”
