★★★★★
THE second multi-format reissue from Rory’s catalogue and archive, curated by his brother Donal, this second solo album was originally released on November 28 1971.
By 1971 Rory was Britain’s leading guitar slinger and a major attraction on the European and US live circuit.
Deuce wasn’t a massive hit but his fans (including a young Johnny Marr) stuck with it. The album remains one of his most popular sets featuring showstoppers like Used To Be and Crest Of A Wave.
