Rory Gallgher the best Irish Blues Rock!!.......2005-06-25

It's unbeliavable this great musician is relatively unknown. The great creativity and fusion with four generes (Blues,Jazz,Folk,Rock) make him only one with his own style, If you like the blues rock and jazz tunes, this album it's a milestone from Ireland. Songs like "What's going on" we heard riffs blues to hard rock , "Railway and gun" a Folk and blues song with a strong solo,"It's Happened Before, It'll Happen Again" with fusion jazz & blues, the beauty folk song "If The Day Was Any Longer", the blues trademark of Rory "Morning sun", and my favorite supersong "Eat my words", all songs in this album are greatest, it's the kind of album where each one of the songs it's a real pleasure to listen.

Rory Gallagher fronted the blues-rock trio Taste, which experienced reasonable success in the U.K. in the late '60s and early '70s. Taste was molded very much on the model of Cream, adding some folk, pop, and jazz elements to a blues-rock base, and featuring a virtuosic guitarist. They weren't in the same league as Cream, particularly in the songwriting department, and were (like Cream) prone to occasional blues-rock bombast. But they weren't a bad band in their own right, exhibiting a lighter touch than most British blues boom outfits.

The focus of Taste was always upon Gallagher. In addition to playing accomplished and versatile lead guitar, he sang in a gentle but convincing fashion, and wrote the band's original material. Much of Taste's repertoire was more restrained and balanced than the territory Gallagher would explore on his '70s outings, which placed more emphasis upon him as guitar hero. Gallagher also played occasional saxophone and harmonica with the group.

Gallagher formed the first version of Taste in his native Ireland in 1966, with bassist Eric Kittringham and drummer Norman Damery. In May of 1968, he relocated to London and, still months shy of his 20th birthday, formed a new version of Taste with bassist Charlie McCracken (who had played bass with Spencer Davis, though not at the peak of Davis' hit-making days) and drummer John Wilson (who had been a drummer with Them, likewise not during one of their well-known incarnations). Two studio albums followed in 1969 and 1970, the second of which made the British Top 20. Taste was still virtually unknown in the States when they broke up shortly afterwards, although a couple of live albums were released in the early '70s to keep some product on the shelves.

rory should've stopped here.......2004-10-21

This is Rory Gallagher at his most creative and most humble, and probably happiest, I'd wager. After going solo he tried to preserve his creativy but got sucked into a guitar hero trip, along with alcoholism. Most Rory solo albums are poorly recorded and full of over-playing. Rory was also not a very good blues player, yet chose to make blues his signature song structure as his solo career progressed. With Taste his love of the blues is readily apparent but it's more of an ambience. I'd stack this album, plus the previous Taste, against all of his later output.

On the Boards - a lot of tastes in addition to the blues.......2003-09-29

One of my favourite albums in my collection. I agree with some of the reviewers below that it is completely different to Taste's 1st album (maybe that Blister on the Moon on Taste I announced the future sound). On the Boards covers a greater variety of styles and moods than the former somewhat orthodox rock'n blues album. On the Boards offers fine nearly jazzy improvisations (It's Happened Before...), but also tender folk-rock tunes, sung beautifully by Rory (If the Day ..., If I Don't Sing ... etc), and of course, the hard rock guitar and bass riffs that are often used as small intros to the compositions (What's Going On and others). It is this exciting blend of influences that makes this basically blues album so outstanding. The Taste's arrangements are very simple, but still make a wonderful overall robust sound with 3 people playing 5 instruments (g, bg, ds, hca, sax). The individual tracks alternate different atmospheres: the gloomy one (the bluesy On the Boards, It's Happened Before ..), which may remind you of the gloomy dusks in Ireland), the raw one (Railway and Gun a.o.), which may remind you of the lively Irish whiskey bar, and the flashes of sunlight of the Irish summer (If the Day Was Any Longer, See Here). I think the album brings a genuine Irish sound, different to any other British or American rock'n blues bands. Definitely a 5-star album, essential to any rock'n blues lover's collection, the best way to see who Rory Gallagher was.
Just a small note to the Philip deCatanzaro' s review (just one below): I also remember that people knew quite infrequently of the Taste (even those who knew Rory's name). However, in our pack of the guys at a Prague high school in the early seventies, the Taste were very popular. And they remained so for most of us.

Tastefully Taste - Rory Showing His Best.......2003-05-01

I was a Taste fan right from 1969 when I was just a pimply faced young guitar slinger. Although the first (green) Taste album shows a rougher edge, "On the Boards" shows how versatile Rory really was. Aside from the excellent song writing, Rory shows us his ability to play the sax and harp. The excellent bass slappin' Richard McCracken shows us his jazz influences and dynamic drumming fills from John Wilson make the title song unforgetable.
On the Boards was a better produced one than the first. The guitar sounds have better variance and the dynamics of each song come to life. Another of my favorite Rory albums is "Deuce". I am more impressed with the 3 man band Rory albums, although Blueprint and Tatoo stand out.
As I type this I remember that none of my highschool freinds new of the band Taste. I played songs from this album with my blues band then, and would not be ashamed to now. I have since met a few other Rory fans and now that I have the CD I really want them to listen to what they missed.
This has got to be the most influential albums for me as a young guitarist and continues to be a valuable part of my collection.

Rory the musician.......2001-01-25

Rory Gallagher was a phenomenally talented musician. Although Eric Clapton is probably the best all around guitarist in the world, if you narrow the field to spontaneous rock guitar, it's a toss-up. Unfortunately, Rory's early death in 1995 forces us to say it was a toss-up. "On The Boards" is the greatest album ever recorded by Taste, lead by R.G., of course. I attended 2 live concerts by Taste in the late 1960's , while attending the Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland. Most of the tracks from "On The Boards" were played. The guitar work was brilliant, as expected. More impressive was Rory's ability to play two instruments at the same time. I saw and heard him play the guitar and harmonica at the same time. Both to perfection. One of his unique trade marks was to sing the same notes he was playing on the guitar in unison; like a duet. This is heard on several of the tracks, including "Eat My Words". In "See Here" we get to hear what is essentially classical guitar on his acoustic axe. Again, excellent. Probably, there was no instrument Rory could not play well, and "On The Boards" contains a solo saxophone performance as an example of that. It is world class. It was his ability to play different instruments, sometimes more than one at a time, all to perfection, that lead me to entitle this review "Rory the musician". If I could add one more track to the album, it would be "Blister On The Moon". It's dynamic Rory at his best.

Anthony Warlow is AMAZING!.......2005-09-21

I purchased this CD for my daughter because she likes Anthony Warlow, and I am sold! He has an amazing range of voice and of characterization. I will now make it my quest to find and purchase every Anthony Warlow CD available, and I might even share them with my daughter!!

Truly a singer who has it all !.......2005-01-21

I bought this CD, and all of his other solo outings after I heard him on "Jekyll and Hyde". His rendition of "This is the moment," just plainly put, "perfect".He has great breath control, exciting top notes and a steady center to his voice. With each song his vocal characterizations were tested and his ability as an gifted actor was wonderfully displayed. I can't wait to receive all of his CD's in the next few days.

why haven't you gone on broadway?.......2005-01-13

I'll put this simply. Anthony Warlow has the voice of a god. He is without peers in the musical theatre world, and, although i haven't heard him sing true opera (the closest i think is "Stand up and fight" on this album, to the tune of "Votre Toast" from Carmen) i think it is fair to assume, with a voice like that, him singing opera rivals the best high baritones in the business. Please, Anthony, !PLEASE! record an opera album. With a range like that he could probably tackle alot of tenor arias, as well as bass-baritone stuff too.
The selection of songs here is amoung the best that musical theatre has to offer. He sings all the songs in character, adn his interpretations are amazing. He will make you laugh, and he will make you cry.
His versatility will have you amazed. He belts, he croons, he soars.
Vocally, he is perfect. There is not one questionable piece of technique.
I don't understand why he hasn't gone on stage anywhere but in Australia. If he was to go to Broadway or the West End, he could command the highest pay of any performer, for both his astounding acting and singing ability.
He is a true legend of the stage, and should be remembered as such.

GET THIS CD!!!!
Even if you hate musicals, you'll enjoy this.

Equal to the Best in Les Miz........2001-02-17

I'm a huge Les Miz fan, but had never heard of Anthony Warlow. He does one of the smaller parts in Les Miz, but is equal to the leads. A man of broad talents, multiple voices and many styles. If you're a Les Miz fan, I guarantee you'll be an Anthony Warlow fan.

W...O...W!.......2000-04-01

I'm not much of a fan of artist albums of this content, but I made this one exception after hearing Anthony Warlow on the Jekyll & Hyde Complete Work. I paid a pretty penny for this CD, but I have to say that it was quite worth it! Anthony's talent is amazing; he really has some of the best singing AND acting skills I think I've heard in ages. His accents and clarity are both flawless; you don't need the lyrics in front of you to be able to understand what he's singing. On the more operatic numbers like "Fate" he manages to make it enjoyable even for non-opera fans like myself; on the jazzy "New York" numbers like "Manhattan," he changes his style to suit the song-- it really does seem like different artists at times on the songs! His rendition of "Bui-Doi" brought tears to my eyes, and I was laughing out loud at "I Am a Pirate King" and "On the Boards." Best to hurry and track down this album if you haven't yet! It's worth it!

Good introduction to Warp.......2001-12-19

"We Are Reasonable People" is a compilation introduction to the wacky world of Warp. As such it is full of good, inventive, "cutting edge" (do we still use that term?) electronic music that flits across a variety of styles, From the avant-retro drone of Broadcast's `Hammer Without a Master" through Jimi Tenor's zany funk work-out, "Wear my Bikini" (er...fine) to an early Autechre piece "Stop Look Listen" that chatters like an old typewriter. No doubt all you groovy listeners will have your own favourites depending on which side you like your musical toast buttered. For me, the best track awards go to...........(cue drum roll) the spooky Squarepusher/AFX collaboration, "Freeman Hardy & Willis Acid" and a soothing Plaid track "Ilasas". Don't ask me to describe those tracks, just take my word, my word being `fabuloso'. One does wonder however, why those nice people at Warp couldn't have priced this CD like most samplers. i.e. not full price. No beef with the quality, however which is high, high, high. That Broadcast number does go on a bit, though. (There's no pleasing some people).
