Kickback City: Rory Gallagher - music Ian Rankin - words Timothy Truman - Illustrations“It’s called Kickback City by Rory Gallagher. The reason why it’s so special to me is because as a collection of songs on there, some of them like ‘Kickback City’ and ‘Continental Op’ are tracks which I have always loved and Rory was also my uncle. And this album which is something that is quite unique in itself and it’s a very special package that’s been put together in that it also features a novella by Ian Rankin and it’s called The Lie Factory plus there has been a graphic novel put to the story and that has been illustrated by Timothy Truman who has done a lot of comic book illustration for DC Comics. So it’s a very unique album in terms of engaging with its audience and for someone like Rory Gallagher where he is highly respected in terms of the mainstream there are a lot of people who don’t know about them - so this album is hopefully going to be a way to reach out to people who haven’t heard its music before.”Eoin Gallagher: Camden Palace Arts, Cork, 26th October 2013Rory Gallagher: Kickback City released 2013Eoin GallagherCamden Palace Hotel, Cork
