"Taste" is the debut album by the Irish blues rock band Taste, released in 1969. Produced by Tony Colton, the album showcases the band's signature sound, featuring powerful guitar work from Rory Gallagher, who is celebrated for his virtuosic playing and emotive style.
The album combines blues, rock, and a hint of folk influences, establishing Taste as a significant act in the late 1960s music scene. Key tracks include "Born on the Wrong Side of Time" and "Blister on the Moon," which highlight Gallagher's prowess as a guitarist and songwriter.
Though not a commercial success at the time of its release, Taste has since been recognized as an influential work that contributed to the evolution of blues rock, paving the way for Gallagher's later solo career and solidifying the band's place in music history.
