Overnight Bag &#; The melodic lyrics of this track describe the lonelier side of life on the road, where Rory spent so much of his time. On this cut Rory creates a beautifully soft acoustic sound, particularly in the middle-eight.
Shadow Play &#; Starting with a pile-driving classic Gallagher guitar riff, this self doubting song gives us an insight into Rory’s double life, on and off stage, poetically described in the line &#; ‘A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde’.
The Mississippi Sheiks &#; Rory takes us back in time on a historical musical journey to the southern states and tells us of the blues musicians of the 20s and 30s. The Mississippi Sheiks were a guitar &#; fiddle combo comprising of Walter Vinson and Lonnie Chatmon who were joined on occasion by Lonnie’s other brothers Sam and Armenter alias Bo Cater, a blind street singer. ‘Peg Leg’ Howell, another street busker of the time, is also name checked in this excellent song.
Last Of The Independents &#; As a film buff Rory was inspired to write this crime song from just reading a newspaper review of ‘Charley Varrick’, featuring Walter Matthau and Joe Don Baker. It later became one of his favorite movies. Rory always stood his ground, remaining one of the last of the independents of his musical generation.
