Album:
Since Godfather first started releasing box sets back in early 2011, the label has been consistent with putting out excellent quality multi-sets, many featuring upgraded sources and always beautifully packaged. Rory Gallagher gets the treatment from The Don here. Across The Water collects several recordings taken between 1973 and 1976. This comes during a time when Gallagher decided to expand his original trio format by adding Lou Martin on keyboards. All tapes with the exception of some bonus tracks come from American shows and are a great example of how this band evolved in such a short time span.The box set follows in the design of Godfather’s past offerings utilizing separate tri-fold paper sleeves to house the individual years and includes a 16 page booklet with both introductory notes and additional notes pertaining to the respective years. Bottom line; every Rory Gallagher fan needs this box in their collection as it contains some great shows all from very good to excellent soundboard tapes. Not too many labels are releasing Rory titles these days, let alone box sets, and Godfather should be celebrated for putting together such an awesome box as this.
