THIN LIZZY

Release Year: 1987
Artist Origin: IRL
Style: fundamental intricate blues/hard rock

fourth full-length by legendary Irish rockers [1974], moving beyond the boundaries of early bluesy and psychedelic folk rock, marks an important transitional stage, with guitar virtuoso Gary Moore replaced by Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson; now operating as a four-piece, the band begins to discover its own distinctive, compelling and driving sound, which would emerge even more clearly on the classic albums that followed, while this collection of ten fairly diverse compositions gradually shapes a new Thin Lizzy identity through restrained dual-guitar interplay, bluesy flourishes and melodic touches, reaching its emotional peak with an impressive, wistful and dramatic ballad Still in Love with You, highlighting Lynott’s vocal sensitivity and expressiveness of guitar solos, while also offering several more dynamic, hard-hitting numbers; recent European edition
