Recorded in 1979, Phil Lynott, Scott Gorham, Brian Downey and new guitar sensation Gary Moore forged ahead once again with their trademark hard rock sound and continued their assault on audiences worldwide with Black Rose: A Rock Legend. It features classics like “Do Anything You Want To Do,” “My Sarah” and “Waiting For An Alibi.” It reached #2 in the U.K. and is widely regarded as the band’s most successful record. This masterpiece has truly stood the test of time.

Black Rose: A Rock Legend would prove to be Thin Lizzy’s last true classic album (and last produced by Tony Visconti). Guitarist Brian Robertson was replaced by Gary Moore prior to the album’s recording. Moore had already been a member of the band in the early ’70s and served as a tour fill-in for Robertson in 1977, and he fits in perfectly with Lizzy’s heavy, dual-guitar attack. Black Rose also turned out to be the band’s most musically varied, accomplished, and successful studio album, reaching number two on the U.K. album chart upon release. Lizzy leader Phil Lynott is again equipped with a fine set of originals, which the rest of the band shines on — the percussion-driven opener “Do Anything You Want To,” the pop hit “Waiting for an Alibi,” and a gentle song for Lynott’s newly born daughter, “Sarah.” Not all the material is as upbeat, such as the funky “S&M,” as well two grim tales of street life and substance abuse — “Toughest Street in Town” and “Got to Give It Up” (the latter sadly prophetic for Lynott). Black Rose closes with the epic seven-minute title track, which includes an amazing, complex guitar solo by Moore that incorporates Celtic themes against a hard rock accompaniment. Black Rose: A Rock Legend is one of the ’70s lost rock classics. –Greg Prato
