Genre: Irish pop/ rock
Places I remember: Marbecks Records (Auckland)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Souped-Up Ford
Gear costume: All Around Man, Out on the Western Plain
Active compensatory factors: Another nice one Rory!
It's 1975 and Rory's been at for seven albums as a solo artist (before that he was the main man in Taste, of course). He's Mr Consistency.
The blueprint had long been established and not much had changed since 1966 - Rory is still playing amazingly varied guitar (lyrical at times, hard as nails at others), his vocals are still right on the money, the band is still tight as a fish's bum (Gerry McAvoy - bass, Lou Martin – keyboards, Rod de'Ath – drums) and the songs have always been there.
Suddenly though, Against The Grain hit the right vein with Americans and it became more well received than previous albums.
Rory hadn't changed, it's just that critics and audiences had started catching up with a good thing.
Where do they all belong? More good times coming, Calling Card's next up.
