Album Description
Available in:
"Top Priority" Released 16 September 1979 is Rory Gallagher's eighth studio album. It was his fourth and final studio album for Chrysalis Records. The album was the second with his revised power trio band. Like the previous album Photo-finish, Top Priority is a return to hard rock. The ballads, pop, and folk influences that were seen on albums such as Calling Card are replaced by more conventional but powerful blues rock.
The album title reflects the pressure that Gallagher often felt regarding the business end of making music. After the release of Photo-Finish Gallagher's band had a successful tour of the United States that resulted in good press both in the states and at home. Chrysalis was eager to keep the momentum going and encouraged Rory to release another studio album quickly, telling him they would make it their "Top Priority" and actively promote it. To remind the executives of their promise Gallagher used the phrase for the album title.
