Blues by an Irishman?

Sure, the Irish have a lot to be blue about--however, I've only heard one who can play the blues as well as those Delta acolytes. Rory Gallagher is a guitarist I've been listening to ever since last Thanksgiving. Due to my job I was forced to stay in Melrose, while Sam went to visit her parents. I ended up celebrating with my neighbor at the time--Brendan--who is about as Irish as you can get. After dinner, darts, and some poitín, Brendan brought out a video of Rory that just blew my mind. If you enjoy this clip, there's more to be had on YouTube. Be patient, it may take a minute for the video to load.
