Decca are thrilled to announce the release of Thin Lizzy The Acoustic Sessions, a groundbreaking 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. 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.
Building on the success of our recent acoustic release, The Acoustic EP is the centerpiece of an innovative marketing campaign designed to connect with today’s music audience. The album’s release will be accompanied by a series of exclusive digital and social media events, as well as special edition vinyl and streaming options. Notably, the album features the first-ever acoustic version of “Whiskey in the Jar,” the track that catapulted Thin Lizzy to international fame. This reimagining of a classic hit is a testament to the enduring appeal of Thin Lizzy’s music, offering a fresh take on their legacy that is both timeless and contemporary.[info sheet from distr.]
