'The Cuckoo', Frankfurt, Germersheim an, Germany
Source Source: FM Lineage: CD Silvers (Oh-Boy 1-9038)
Media CDr   1 disc
Notes Recording Notes: CD Silvers from German Broadcast studios in 1972 and 1973. For the time period, they are very good recordings. There are a few flaws in the recording; faint vocals and minor saturated vocals, other errors (noted) are from the actual recording). The last 3 tracks are, in my opinion, the weakest tracks on this disc.

Additional Notes: For Rory Gallagher fans, this was the first compilation of his "unplugged" music before "Wheels within Wheels" was released last year. Rory had two distinctive sides to his music; an acoustic virtuosity that "copied" the styles of the acoustic folk blues greats like Leadbelly Tony Joe White, Lightning Slim, and Muddy Waters among others, mixing them with his own unique style that is heard on his blistering electric style. From song to song, Rory's guitar style changes from whimsical to haunting, bluesy to country with impeccable guitar picking. Hoodoo Woman is included twice on this set, first as an acoustic number and later as a traditional blues tune. Although the same song, their recordings are completely different
