      No thumbs up! Sorry. I really love and adore him & his play, but Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommy, Jimmy Page, Brian May were a bit more impressive on 6 strings way back then: all in all...
      Maybe the same with him as a singer ... I really love is voice (especially on this track, Bullfrog Blues or Shadow Play), but he ain't a 2nd Ian Gillan (he never had a "Child in Time"- a "Highway Star"or a "When a Blind Man Cries"-moment, asfo), he is no Robert Plant (with "Dazed and Confued" next to many others) or Dio (Over and Over, Stargazer, All the Fools Sailed away, etc.):
      Maybe he'd been the most talented musical universal genious of that time... But just like Phil Lynott or Gary Moore... That was the age of Superheroes, not of universal geniouses

    One of the things that has always fascinated me about Rory's playing is that he makes a unique blend of American blues and Irish traditional music. This particular song is a sparkling example.

      A decent volume of traditional American music, such as folk or bluegrass, has roots in the musical traditions that were brought over by the Irish immigrants to the southeastern US.

    +lamb998......Why the need for comparisons? I enjoy many varied artists (including early Van) but there's never a need or excuse to knock Rory. The man was an exceptional talent and a beautiful human being who played (brilliantly) for the love of it, nothing more, nothing less. He's also my all-time favourite and about as far removed from "shit" as you could ever hope to get. Might I suggest you give Rory a further listen if you're not familiar with his material?
