5.0 out of 5 stars As good as gold, January 12, 2006

By	O. J. Dean (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Lucky me! I get to be the first unpaid reviewer to let you know how great this CD is. Every cut reminds us why Ireland's Phil Lynott set the rock world on fire during the late seventies and early eighties. It's more on the pop-rock side of things, but nevertheless remains a charming curio from a man who was easily one of the most revolutionary musicians of his generation. As for the lyrics, they are great song-poems that suit perfectly well the melodies--flexible and light rock rhythms and Phil Lynott's unique voice, which strolls between the calm and the storm. His untimely death cut short the magic he and his fellow musicians created. Fortunately, this CD will continue to spread his message.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old Town, February 24, 2006

By	Lucas (Holland) - See all my reviews

Recently I became re-interested in Philip's voice/music. It sounds always as if the man was just catching a cold when you hear him sing, but that gives his voice something special, something different from others. Looking at the sleeve (beautiful front-picture!) Just like the previous album Solo In Soho, I saw that a lot of well-known artists had helped Philip out with this one. Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Midge Ure (Ultravox), Huey Lewis (& The News), Mel Collins (saxophone with Dire Straits), Rusty Egan & Bob C. Benberg (Supertramp drummer). I heard The Corrs version of Old Town last year and I immediately remembered the original from Philip. I never saw this record in the shops over here, even the single Old Town flopped in our country in december 1982 (like so many good tunes back then!) and I couldn't get my hands on a copy of that song, so I ordered mine via the internet. Today was my lucky day. Besides Old Town, there are more good tunes on this one: Fatalistic Attitude, Cathleen/Growing Up & Yellow Pearl (which was the second single off the album). This is a REAL record. I like it at first hearing, and that says a lot! Essential one.

Phill " reinvented " himself here,took himself Completely out of the context we're used to.A very bold but intimate aspect of The Rocker,to the point where one forgets ' what ' made him famous !!!
