A Great Third Album
Don't waste any time. Just buy this. You are a Thin Lizzy fan and this is why. The last LP with Eric Bell and it should be had by you. He is a master and why he left is a mystery to me. Check out the solo on "The Hero And The Madman". You'll be hooked. Phil Lynott is not only a great singer and composer but a very good bass player as well. Very evident on this. Brian Downey is always right on. They are an awesome trio to say the least. "Slow Blues" and "The Rocker" are among the best of any Thin Lizzy tracks anywhere. "Little Girl In Bloom" , "Gonna Creep Up On You", it just goes on and on. There is only one track I skip. You'll be able to tell which one. Although I love the 4th album "Night Life" I think it took awhile for the band to gain the momentum lost after this one. I don't think even "Fighting" was quite as good. It's right up there with "Jailbreak" if you ask me. Buy it.
One of their top 3 cd's
This is really good cd with excellent cuts such The Rocker( hard rock classic)..of course their biggest hit in uk whiskey in the jar..it also has slow blues(blusey)..randolph's tango, little girl in bloom, gonna creep on you, and mamma nature said. It does have a couple of lesser songs..black boys on the corner and the last song but doesn't detract from the cd anyway.
Eric Bell-Era Masterpiece
Most everybody remembers Thin Lizzy as a first-rate hard-rock arena band (not in the US, however, where they usually opened bills), and indeed the runaway success of "The Boys Are Back In Town" pointed them in the direction of metal for the whole second half of their career, culminating in THUNDER & LIGHTNING, their swan song as well as their heaviest-ever recording. Few people, however, are aware of how eclectic a band Lizzy were in their early period, as a trio with the sadly-neglected Eric Bell on guitar. Although rough'n'ready hard rock was always part of the Lizzy menu, the first three albums (on Deram) are notable for the many beautiful and touching ballads, to say nothing of the idiosyncratic Celtic folk-blues that was the true core of Phil Lynott's songwriting gift. These Deram albums, all remastered for CD with bonus tracks, offer more than a look at a great band's larval stages - they stand on their own as documents of Lynott & Lizzy at their most creative and audacious. VAGABOND is their overall third, recorded at that juncture when their musicianship had caught up with their sky-high confidence, resulting in razor-sharp & compelling stormers like 'Gonna Creep Up On You' and the unforgettable title track, but even better are the calmer moments: the heartbreaking timeless beauty of 'Little Girl in Bloom' and 'Song for While I'm Away', the gently striding 'Slow Blues' and 'Randolph's Tango' and the emotional power and simplicity of 'Whiskey In The Jar' and 'Hero and the Madman'. (I was pleased to see Metallica covering 'Whiskey' until it dawned on me that now and forever it will probably be thought a Metallica song!) Nick Tauber's production skillfuly adapts to whichever stylistic hat the band is wearing on a particular track; the happy result is one of 70s rock's least-known great albums. From here came the departure of Bell, the addition of the twin guitars of Scott Gorham & Brian Robertson, the move to a major label and eventual international success. And well-deserved, too: those major-label albums were terrific. But, without Eric around, they seldom soared quite this high again.
Very interesting...
(3.5 stars)
Based on having listened to this album only, Thin Lizzy is a very original guitar-centric band. This album has a handful of great songs, and some less successful songs, however even the lesser songs have original or rewarding elements.
Thin Lizzy is definitely underrated.
Great Album- you will listen to this for years to come
I agree with the previous reviews that there is not a bad song on this CD. I have had this CD for 7 years and the interesting thing is my personal favorites. When I purchased it, I would always listen to Mama Nature Said, The Hero and the Madman, The Rocker and Whisky in the Jar. Now when I listen to it(and I'm not listening to the entire CD) I always go to a different set of songs(Slow Blues, Black Boys on the Corner and Randolph's Tango). If you are familiar with Metallica's cover of Whisky in the Jar, you need to do yourself a favor and listen to the original.
