I am going to see Black Star Riders Sunday night (whose debut album is excellent BTW), so since their legacy is Thin Lizzy I decided to go back and re-visit some Lizzy material as well. I picked up the mini-box set that contains the albums “Nightlife”, “Fighting”, “Jailbreak” “Bad Reputation”, and “Black Rose”. I don’t know that Lizzy ever put together the perfect album, but all of these are solid with some really great tunes on all of them. "Black Rose" is about as good as twin harmonly guitar gets. These guys never made it that big here in the States, and I will be curious what kind of crowd Black Star Riders will be able to draw on Sunday night. Anyway…..Lizzy was sadly overlooked here in the US. Too bad as they put out some great stuff.
