<p>Thin Lizzy is an Irish rock band that was formed in Dublin in 1969. The band had various combinations of former members after the death of their founding member and frontman. Although they disbanded in 1983, Thin Lizzy reformed and continued to perform with different line-ups. Throughout their existence, they had several guitar players including well-known names such as Gary Moore and Snowy White. Drummer Brian Downey replaced a previous drummer for a few gigs, while keyboard players Eric Bell and Darren Wharton contributed to the band's recordings. The most famous and recognized line-up of Thin Lizzy was during the period from 1974 to 1978 with Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson on lead guitar. Currently, Scott Gorham and Ricky Warwick are touring under the name Thin Lizzy.</p>

Back In Stock

Their most exciting record; tough and touching, simultaneously barbarous and balletic. But then it'd be a great album just for "The Boys Are Back In Town", surely the finest and funniest song of its kind. It's Phil Lynott's infectious grin transmuted into sound, cheeky and totally irresistible—emerging unannounced from a jukebox, it can still make a whole room smile, and its brusque poignancy can't fail to touch the middle of the heart. But the rest of Jailbreak lives up to it, especially the riotous title track ("Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town"—yeah well, the jail seems a likely place). If Lynott's poetic pretensions sometimes seep through, most of the album shows off his effortless command of power and economy; if heavy rock has a tendency to wrestle each song to the ground with brute force, Thin Lizzy were uniquely capable of the quick kill, the knockout punch, graceful as a boxer or bullfighter.
