"Jailbreak" by Thin Lizzy (1976)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Thin Lizzy  "Jailbreak"  1976 (Ireland/UK)
Phil Lynott, Brian Downey, Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham were a crucial quartet in the development of heavy music -- though not quite really exactly what you might call a "heavy metal" band, Lizzy in the 1970's featured two insanely shredding lead guitarists (who pioneered the "harmonized double lead" style taken up by Iron Maiden, Metallica, etc.) and a fearsome drummer with double bass kicks.  But the most legendary member was their singer/bassist/main songwriter, the remarkable Phil Lynott.  Perhaps because of his trageic early death in the 1980's, his legend has only grown and Thin Lizzy is quite probably more popular today than they have ever been.  Jailbreak was the album that first broke the band in the American market, featuring their biggest hit "The Boys Are Back In Town" and classic concert favorites like "Cowboy Song", "Emerald" and the title track.
