................................................................................
LP #1 :
" TASTE " (1969)
Outstanding HEAVY Blues Psych-rock guitar trio that came out of nowhere and delivered a smashing gem, this, the original first TASTE album, featuring the then unknown Rory Gallagher, who stomps it up all over the place.....
The first "TASTE" of Rory Gallagher to the world. And, indeed, the focus really is on him and his guitar-prowess being the center-point of this album. A classic bluesrock-power-trio that burns the blues like the world had never heard in 1969...standout tracks are all over the place..."Born On The Wrong Side Of Time" has a a great riff and equally good lyrics and hook line making it a classic; a real infectious tune. The guitar tone on 'catfish' is absolutely CRUSHING! "Suger Mama" is a heavy blues shouter that all the legends would have been proud of. Overall its a consistent album that launched Rory to stardom as one of the greatest blues players of 60s-70s with his distinctive sound and catchy riffing, just check out the playing on probably the most exciting track, "Blister on the Moon", excellent stuff!- "Blister on the Moon" - 3:26

LP #2 :
"TASTE" ~ On The Boards (1970)
The 2nd bombastic album recorded by the legendary TASTE featuring the magic guitar fingers of young Rory Gallagher....
"On The Boards" the group's second LP released in 1970 and was perhaps even more satisfying affair than their debut. The record opens with the Taste show stopper "What's Going On" a powerful electric blues rave-up with classic stinging Gallagher guitar work. "Railway and Gun" is a melodic blues not too far removed from early Thin Lizzy. "It Happened Before, It'll Happen Again" is a remarkable number that really stretches out, Rory plays some really thoughtful runs on guitar and the infectious grooves are just great.
"If The Day Was Any Longer" is a pretty song that again has a terrific hook, Rory plays some nice harp on this one. "Morning Sun" is a full out rocker again one of the best on the album with more whistling guitar leads ...Side two opens with yet another blistering raver called "Eat My Words" the group is really kicking on this one Richard McCracken's plays lead bass right in your face ala Free's Andy Fraser, Rory plays some razor sharp bottleneck lines while John Wilson plays the Ginger Baker part on drums.
"If I Don't Sing I'll Cry" is a blues rock stomper in the Savoy Brown mold and has a great memorable melody. "See Here" is a beautiful solo acoustic song by Rory, kinda like Danny Kirwan's contributions to Fleetwood Mac's classic "Then Play On" album.
"On The Boards" finishes with "I'll Remember" which is the best song on the album, the arrangement is great, the band are totally in sync and they rock-out like there is no tomorrow. "On The Boards" is a tight well played album that is filled with great songs accented by blistering guitar runs --just the way Rory liked it.
