Defender = LP = (LP)
Pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl. It never took Rory Gallagher a longer time to release a new album. Five years after 'Jinx', seemingly an eternity, 'Defender' was released at last. Though it took a long time, the quality of this blues-rock offering is equal to his stellar '70s albums 'Top Priority' and 'Photo-Finish'. Album opener 'Kickback City' could be a song from hairy rockers Bad Company with heavy pounding guitars, but 'Failsafe Day' and 'Road To Hell' are by-the-book-crunch-rockers as well. The blazing riff in 'Continental Op', and the swampy, less abrasive 'Ain't No Saint' complete this amazing (but unfortunately less hyped) album.
