Album Notes & Community Reviews

Philip Lynott's debut solo album allowed the Thin Lizzy frontman to explore synthesizer-driven pop and new wave textures outside his main band's hard rock purview. The record features contributions from several high-profile contemporaries, including Mark Knopfler and Midge Ure. It stands as a testament to Lynott's versatile songwriting capabilities during the shifting musical landscape of the early 1980s.
