Thin Lizzy
Night Life (1974)
320
The first album to feature Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson features a different sound that fans became acustomed to after the release of Jailbreak. Thin Lizzy dives through many styles here. From the hard edge sounds of "It's Only Money", and "Sha-La-La" to the beautiful overtons of "Dear Heart", and "Frankie Carroll". A certain kind of jazz influence is apparent on the title track, which is probably my favorite song on the album. "Showdown" sounds like it was the theme for some night-time 70's cop show. "Philomena" is a sweet song dedicated to Phil's mother, and the short but sweet instrumental "banshee" is a cool treat. So if you are a big Thin Lizzy fan and you don't have this. Don't miss out on this great album!
