Rory Gallagher The Bad Penny Podcast

A Taste of Rory

Season 1, Ep. 1
•


Welcome to the Rory Gallagher The Bad Penny Podcast. For the premier episode I am joined by my friend, composer, musician, author, and podcaster extraordinaire Mr. Scott Haskin. In this episode we will be reviewing the eponymous debut album Taste. This was the first studio album released from the Mark II lineup of Taste and the first studio album in Rory's discography. Scott provides his usual interesting analysis of the tracks on this album released in April of 1969.
