Philip Lynott Renegade
Philip Lynott / Thin Lizzy - Book - by Alan Byrne
(2024)
Renegade is the story of a pioneering Irish musician. From his early
days on his beloved Dublin music scene through the adventurous days of
Thin Lizzy, the band he led for thirteen years, Philip himself reveals
in song the ebb and flow of his public and private life. Once
mainstream success came his way with Thin Lizzy's powerhouse Jailbreak
album in 1976, his musical thirst only heightened, and this book also
offers intimate insight into his musical experimentation beyond the Thin
Lizzy framework.
The very subtle solo annexe to the main
body of his recorded work with Thin Lizzy is often overlooked despite
being inhabited with lyrical depth, honesty and amusing but purposeful
misdirection. From the slow burn of his rise with Thin Lizzy to the
unfortunate and unnecessary outcome of his short life, Renegade offers a
vantage point from the people who were by his side through it all.
