LiveOne
Bassist and leader of Thin Lizzy, Black and Irish, he's a muscular hard rocker of the seventies and a precursor of funk-rock fusion, whose life boils down to an obsession with freedom and refusal of labels. In 1979, in parallel with Thin Lizzy, Phil launched into his first album, Solo In Soho (1980), where he furiously mixed rock, blues, funk and even reggae, asserting his blackness with his nasal voice. He followed this up with The Philip Lynott Album (1982), an eclectic production in which brassy funk meets Bob Dylan-style ballads. Burning life at both ends (drugs and alcohol...), Phil Lynott died of a heart attack.
