Wheels within Wheels fulfils at least one of the lost ambitions of the late Irish
guitarist Rory Gallagher. On each of his electric albums, Gallagher featured a rootsy
acoustic track and he'd hoped to release a complete album of unplugged performances.
Collecting and tidying up a selection of outtakes and lost recordings from 1974 to 1994,
his brother, Donal, reveals Gallagher's taste for blues, skiffle, and folk, and his
love of collaborating with great musicians. The instrumental "Bratacha Dubha" features
folk heroes Martin Carthy and Maire Ni Chathasaigh, while Bert Jansch turns up in "She
Moves Through the Fair." The Dubliners, Bela Fleck, and the late Lonnie Donegan also put
in appearances. Of course, given Rory's prodigious abilities, the playing is
exceptionally fine, but there's a rare warmth here.
