This best-of collection gives a decent overview of guitarist Rory Gallagher's most sought-after tracks, from his 1971 album Deuce to his final recordings in the '80s. Highlights include "Shinkicker," "Tattoo'd Lady," and "Philby." While there is nothing here the collector doesn't already own, Crest of a Wave: The Best of Rory Gallagher provides a quality sampling for the curious listener...L.Campbell
The latest compilation of Rory Gallagher’s music is a true testament to his influence on such artists like Slash, Brian May, and Eric Clapton. For anyone who is not familiar with Rory Gallagher’s work, "Crest of a Wave" is a must-have. Gritty blues oozes out of each tune, only rivaled by the steady rock undercurrent heard in the music as well. Gallagher’s nephew emphasized that the core songwriting should always take precedence, and that’s a completely understandable statement. But let’s be honest: It’s damn hard to not be easily wowed by the guitar techniques that you’ll hear throughout the 2 disks. Just the slide work alone with make you a believer...K. Meine
