Chitarra Acustica

A Million Miles Away è un brano scritto e interpretato da Rory Gallagher, contenuto nell'album Tattoo pubblicato nel 1973. Quarto disco da solista per l'artista irlandese, viene realizzato pochi mesi dopo Blueprint: entrambi di successo e che sperimentano un interessante mix tra blues, jazz e funk. La canzone è la terza traccia del lato B, un pezzo rock-blues che alterna la sua inseparabile chitarra ad interventi di fiati prettamente soul.
