Thin Lizzy gets no respect, no airplay, and no one can pronounce Phil Lynott's last name. Jailbreak, their fifth US record, does not hold up, but there's some decent nostalgia swelling as Cowboy Song, Running Back, and the title track get a move on. The treat is Phil's solo Solo in Soho record. Indie shitbirds may recall that Mick Collins and co. took Ode to a Black Man off this disc. It's great as an original. The title track here starts out with a UK woman intoning the sage wisdom that she's, "a clapped-out whore." Jimmy Page never had the stones to put something like this on his breaks, and he was a white man robbing from the black. Put Solo in Soho on your Kwanzza list.
