Thin Lizzy “Acoustic Session“, a ground breaking new frontline album that brings together the legendary voice of Philip Lynott, the masterful guitar work of founding member Eric Bell, and the powerful original drum takes of Brian Downey. This unique project offers fans a rare opportunity to experience Thin Lizzy’s classic hits like never before, with Lynott’s previously unheard vocal takes perfectly complemented by Bell’s fresh acoustic arrangements and Downey’s dynamic drumming.
There is something deeply affecting the first time Phil Lynott’s previously unheard vocals come through the speakers, accompanied by new stripped back arrangements by Eric Bell and Brian Downey which really give these old songs a fresh feel. I’d like to think Phil would approve.
“The Acoustic Sessions” represents a new listening experience for fans of Thin Lizzy, taking ten of their best-known songs and stripping them down to simple acoustic performances. The late Phil Lynott’s original vocal takes are intact, but couched in new acoustic parts from the band’s founding guitarist Eric Bell, plus similarly new parts from original drummer Brian Downey.
Drawing on material from the band’s iconic Decca era, the album revisits tracks from Thin Lizzy’s first three albums, presenting them in an intimate, stripped-down format that is sure to captivate both longtime fans and a new generation of listeners.
