Joe Bonamassa takes Rory Gallagher's catalog back to Cork with a live tribute built around blues-rock guitar, Irish stage history, and songs closely associated with Gallagher's road-tested repertoire. The Spirit Of Rory Live From Cork is a 2LP 180g red marbled vinyl record in a gatefold jacket, with Bonamassa using the concert setting to revisit Gallagher material from heavy electric blues numbers to slower, more reflective performances.

"Cradle Rock" starts the set with a hard-driving riff and a familiar Gallagher concert opener, while "Walk On Hot Coals" stretches into a heavier blues-rock workout. "Tattoo'd Lady" brings in one of Rory Gallagher's best-known touring-life songs, and "Calling Card" shifts toward a more measured groove. "Bullfrog Blues" pushes the set toward uptempo electric blues, "I Fall Apart" moves into a more exposed vocal setting, and "A Million Miles Away" gives the record one of its central slower pieces in the tracklist.

The Cork setting matters because Gallagher's name is tied closely to the city, and the album was recorded as a tribute rather than a routine live set. Bonamassa works through material that spans Gallagher's electric blues, rock, R&B covers, and acoustic-leaning songwriting. The red marbled 180g vinyl and gatefold format give this 14-song performance a substantial physical edition.

  • Format: 2LP
  • Standout tracks: Cradle Rock, Walk On Hot Coals, Tattoo'd Lady, A Million Miles Away
  • Pressing details: 180g Red Marbled Vinyl, Gatefold Jacket
  • Genre/style: Blues Rock, Electric Blues
  • UPC: 990481102105

For Bonamassa fans, The Spirit Of Rory Live From Cork connects his guitar style with songs that helped define Rory Gallagher's live reputation. "Walk On Hot Coals," "Bad Penny," and "A Million Miles Away" show the set moving past one blues-rock mode.
