Classic Albums: Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak (VMP Re-Issue)

Описание: We explore Thin Lizzy's 1976 breakout album, Jailbreak.

Jailbreak began life as a last-chance effort to prove to their label that they could produce a hit album.

Producer, John Alcock took the band to Ramport Studios in London and took a unique approach…he hired session musicians on some of the tracks to give the record a more commercial, "radio-friendly" vibe Namely, he hired keyboardist Tim Hinkley to play keyboard on “Running Back”. This drastically changed the style and caused tensions with some band members.

Thin Lizzy’s sound and lineup was constantly in flux, which presented some setbacks as they continued to push their career and sound forward.

In 1974 Lynott expanded the lineup to feature two guitarists after a revolving door that even included Gary Moore for a short stint. A funny anecdote is the reason that Lynott decided to have two guitar players is, in his words “The next time one of those c**** walk out, there will be another one there!”

The decision to stick with two guitarists would prove pivotal in the creation of the band's classic dual harmonized guitar sound that would go on to influence the next decade of guitar music.

Their infectious guitar harmonies influenced many hard rock and metal acts into the 80s, such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Metallica.

Jailbreak was ahead of its time, but its influence and timeless sound make it a classic album in every sense.
