This is the first time I hear Sophie taking a subtle approach to the song, not overdoing it and not shredding it to death. I was at Rory Gallagher's concert in October 1979 in Copenhagen, and it was a total blast. For me, he, Gary Moore, and Richie Blackmore (while in Deep Purple) make my top three guitarists ever. Thank you, Sophie, for putting soul and emotion into your rendition! It's fabulous. And yes he was criminally underrated.

Thank you for sharing this song of an almost forgotten guitar hero. Well done. Also, Rory Gallagher is criminally underrated as one of the greatest guitarists and I am sure if he was still alive, he would've loved your "shred version".

Good Lord!!! That version gave me some serious goosebumps!! Thank you Sophie.

Great shred version, Sophie!!! One of the best guitarists of all time. We lost him way too early. Thanks for helping to keep his guitarwork alive!!! RIP Rory!!!

Rory in my case.

Great cover - Very impressive! Having followed him from his 'Taste' days, I finally saw Rory Gallagher at the Dagenham Roundhouse in 1972, just after the 'Live in Europe' album was released. His considerable ability and showmanship, plus great bass from Gerry McAvoy and Wilgar Campbell on drums, made for an exciting, memorable show; with some of the elated audience blocking the side of the stage so he'd go back for a third encore, which he did. He had a reputation for being a friendly, kind man. Gerry McAvoy lived in Canning Town, East London and used the Bridge House pub and rock venue as his local. One evening, I was reliably informed, Rory turned up with him for a drink and ended up jamming with a local band. As a guitarist, he rarely played anything that could be said to be shredding, but he was beautifully melodic, technically excellent and inspiring to listen to, which I often did. Why he has apparently been forgotten is a bit of a mystery, as in his day he was ranked alongside Page, Beck, Blackmore and the best of them. The closest to a shredder in those days, would be the late Alvin Lee of Ten Years After, I would suggest.

Rory was the best Guitarist to ever walk the earth, absolutely love this shred

Thank you.That was superb,and played by the most beautiful woman in Metal.❤

I really like Sophie and appreciate her doing this. Rory was one of my heroes so it ll be pretty obvious I m a seasoned old fart. My enthusiasm for the guitar has never abated despite my teaching days being well and truly done. I have huge admiration for Wes Montgomery and I feel he is appreciated more now than when he was alive. I think the same will happen for legends like Rory and Allan Holdsworth and others of true unique talent.

Just while I am on this theme of great guitarists like Rory who were always highly rated but seem to be getting more appreciated over the years like a mature wine I have to add Lenny Breau. Different music genre to Rory but well worth checking out.

Thank you Sophie! So good to hear you cover one of Rory's tracks - and one of his more rockin'/blues ones at that. Being in western Canada I'd never even heard of Rory Gallagher until about ten years ago, after listening to April Wine's Myles Goodwyn speaking so highly of him in an interview. Rory truly earned - on his own terms of course - the title of "the best guitarist you've never heard of". Such a shame too, because his talent was only exceeded by his love of playing the smaller venues where he could interact much more intimately with his fans. Like you, Rory was forever humble and engaging with his listeners, even though he did not have to be. Yet he was his own person, his own boss and took his work seriously enough that he could not risk having it diluted within the confines of an established big-name band or worse, a record company. His low profile was his choice - and his right. While I do wish we could have heard his music in regular rotation on North American radio stations during his hey-day, I understand why this could not be. But I do hope to hear your material on our stations - sooner rather than later.

Congrats on 1.1m subscribers. Great achievement

Once again ....Sophie nails it, showing her musical masterfullness!! What a talented musician!!! Keep on rockin Sophie!! ❤❤❤

Rory Gallagher was one of the great guitarists during my youth. Saw his band Taste at The Gala in Norwich in the late 1960s and again at The Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. Was sad when Taste split but still bought lots of Rory Gallagher albums. I thought that a female singer might suit his band because I saw Christine Perfect with Chicken Shack at The Gala also. A voice like hers or Grace Slick.

Mentioned this on your sister’s page, but you’ve inspired both myself and my wife to begin guitar. Her for the very first time and me after a long hiatus of stopping way back in 1978.
