Rory Gallagher - The Later Years
December 16, 2024
It’s hard to imagine the research and effort that went into writing Rory Gallagher – The Later Years. Authors Lauren Alex O’Hagan and Rayne Morales set out with a specific goal in mind, to set the record straight on the final decade of Rory Gallagher’s illustrious musical career.
“We were tired of the constant focus on the 1970s in publications, of repeatedly hearing the same ‘rise and fall’ narrative, of press articles and biographies splitting Gallagher’s career into before and after periods, with Defender—or even Jinx—frequently marked as the start of a downward spiral simply based on the fact that Gallagher’s health worsened during the recording of the albums,” write O’Hagan and Morales in the introduction.
