About this album

Against The Grain is Rory Gallagher at his most direct and hard-hitting, sharpening the blues-rock formula that made him such a compelling guitarist. Released in 1975, the album balances taut original material with disciplined covers, giving Gallagher room to stretch out without losing momentum. Its mix of grit, melody and muscular playing reflects the period when he was cementing his reputation as one of rock’s most fiercely individual live and studio performers. The record has long appealed to listeners who value songcraft as much as flash, and it stands as a strong example of his classic-era sound.
