4.0 out of 5 stars Lesser Rory; Still Better Than 90% Of The Dreck Out There, October 3, 2000

If you got hooked on The Flannel King's early-70s work (BLUEPRINT, CALLING CARD, DEUCE, etc) then it's near-impossible to dislike anything he ever did, including an album like this from late in his career/life when it was obvious he was in declining health. Even running on fumes, Rory's work never betrayed his art or his fans - his heart was always true. FRESH EVIDENCE, while not his best, is still worth buying and playing over and over - if for no other reason to hear a master guitar player outwit his infirmities with cunning, experience and pure feel. No, you won't find a 'Cradle Rock' on this set -or even a 'Shin Kicker'- but listen to 'Middle Name' and you'll hear a stripped-down minimalism so slinky and nasty you might not notice or care that the roof-raising long solos are behind him. And there are a pair of instrumentals included here that will leave teeth marks in your ass: the sound of a guitar warrior going down fighting. Five years he's gone and I still miss this guy.

4.0 out of 5 stars THe Irish God's last studio album!!, August 12, 2002

It's simple impossible to find one bad, or even average, Rory Gallagher album. All his albums are phenomenal. Of course in some of them there are a few weak tunes, but they are made good due to Rory's immense passion when playing and singing.

In FRESH EVIDENCE, Roy flerts with a more modern production and drum sound. We are in 1988 here. This is not his best album (CALLING CARD is, followed close by a lot of others, like DEUCE and PHOTO PHINISH), but it's no an album recommend only for his fans: anyone new to Gallagher may begin his collection buying ANY of his albums. The guy is genius. God bless his soul.
