Album credits turn rock listening into a fuller record of creative work. A rock song is never just a lead singer, a guitar riff, and a title. Behind it stand producers, session musicians, recording engineers, mixing engineers, mastering engineers, songwriters, … Continue reading

About halfway through his new album Project X, there’s a moment on the “Dummy” intro where the reliably hard Memphis rap great Key Glock chants the famous intro drop from Tay Keith, the Memphis rap producer who was found dead yesterday. Tay Keith’s passing is a sudden shock, and “Dummy” is the first time since his death that I got ambushed by a new Tay Keith beat that I didn’t see coming. I’m sure that’ll happen a lot of times in the months ahead. It shouldn’t have caught me off-guard, but it made his passing hit that much harder. Tay Keith was good. “Dummy” is a good song.

Joe Bonamassa has released The Spirit Of Rory: Live From Cork, a new live album and concert film celebrating the music and legacy of Irish blues-rock icon Rory Gallagher.
Available now via J&R Adventures, the project captures Bonamassa’s sold-out tribute performances in Cork, Ireland, Gallagher’s hometown and a city where his influence remains deeply ingrained in the local culture. Alongside the release, Bonamassa has unveiled a live performance video for “A Million Miles Away (Live),” one of the album’s standout moments.
Recorded with the blessing of Gallagher’s family, The Spirit Of Rory: Live From Cork documents what began as a tribute concert before expanding into a three-night sold-out run. A longtime admirer of Gallagher, Bonamassa approached the project with respect for the late guitarist’s legacy while bringing his own voice and style to the performances.
Gallagher remains one of Ireland’s most celebrated musicians. His blend of electric blues, hard rock, Celtic influences, and fearless improvisation inspired generations of guitarists and helped establish him as one of the most influential players in blues-rock history.
At the center of the release is “A Million Miles Away,” originally featured on Gallagher’s 1973 album Tattoo and later immortalized through the guitarist’s legendary live performances. The song’s themes of loneliness and longing have made it one of the most beloved entries in Gallagher’s catalog.
The project includes several historically significant moments, including Bonamassa’s performance of “As The Crow Flies” using Gallagher’s own 1930 National Triolian resonator guitar, which was loaned by the Cork Public Museum. The DVD and Blu-ray editions also feature bonus content, including The Inspiration of Rory, featuring conversations with Brian May and Slash, as well as Rory’s Acoustic Guitar and Ballycotton – A Million Miles Away.
Across 14 songs, The Spirit Of Rory: Live From Cork explores the breadth of Gallagher’s catalog, from fan favorites such as “Walk On Hot Coals,” “Bullfrog Blues,” and “Bad Penny” to emotional performances of “Tattoo’d Lady,” “I Fall Apart,” and “A Million Miles Away.” The setlist also draws inspiration from the spirit of Gallagher’s legendary Irish Tour ’74 era, which introduced many fans, including Bonamassa, to Gallagher’s electrifying live performances.
What started as a single tribute concert ultimately became one of the most meaningful experiences of Bonamassa’s career, with fans traveling from around the world to celebrate Gallagher’s music in the guitarist’s hometown.
“What you hear on these recordings is our best effort to pay tribute to Rory Gallagher, a man I never met, but admire so deeply. His music is part of me and I’m grateful that we were able to contribute in some small way to his ongoing legacy.”
