Ep. 42: Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
How many power chords do you have? Because this week we've got plenty to spare!
Thin Lizzy had been more or less given one final shot to break big. Despite big creative differences, perhaps a little too much "hydration," and maybe not enough discipline early on, the crew behind Jailbreak all recognized the stakes.
Packed with rock radio staples and incredible deep cuts, Jailbreak secured Thin Lizzy's future on the recording front. Driven by Phil Lynott's vision and supported by exquisite drumming and twin guitar work, the band turned in an absolute classic.
Jailbreak is simply some of the purest rock you will ever hear.
