Philip Lynott Renegade

‘He was probably the most naturally talented person I've ever worked with.’ Will Reid Dick, Engineer on Jailbreak.

Philip Lynott: Renegade is the story of a pioneering Irish musician. From his early days in his beloved Dublin music scene through the adventurous days of Thin Lizzy, the band he led for thirteen years, Philip himself revealed in song the ebb and flow of his public and private life.

Once mainstream success came his way with Lizzy's powerhouse Jailbreak album in 1976, his musical thirst only heightened, with this book also offering an intimate insight into his musical experimentation beyond the Thin Lizzy framework. Indeed, the very subtle solo material he produced, in addition 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 his beloved band to the unfortunate and unnecessary outcome of his short life, this book offers an essential biography of this remarkable musician, often from the vantage point of the people who were by his side through it all.

The author Alan Byrne lives in County Cork, Ireland. He has written three volumes of biography about Thin Lizzy and Philip Lynott as part of an ongoing Lizzy and Lynott series of projects.
