  | THIN LIZZY ~ BLACK ROSE (DELUXE EDITION)
MERCURY 277270 (Barcode: 602527727004) ~ IRELAND ~ Classic Rock
Recorded: 1979 Released: 2011
This is the 10th album by Thin LizzyFind albums by this artist, the last of the great Irish / British Rock bands of the 1970s. Formed and led by the charismatic vocalist / bassist / composer Phil LynottFind albums by this artist and drummer Brian DowneyFind albums by this artist (they were the only steady members lasting until Lynott´s untimely death in 1985), the band was characterized by a double lead guitar lineup and a strong connection to Irish / Celtic roots. Many great guitar players were members of the band over the years, but this album features the superb Gary MooreFind albums by this artist, who was also of Irish origin and was friendly with Lynott since the late 1960s, when they were members of Skid RowFind albums by this artist. Unfortunately Moore´s stint with the band lasted only for this one album, and he was replaced by another guitar hero: Snowy White. In retrospect this is definitely the strongest album the band recorded, full of great songs and passionate playing. This new edition expands the original album by a whole CD of new material, which includes alternate takes and other goodies. A great example of late Classic Rock, before it all went to hell!
