Thin Lizzy: Jailbreak
For this - the tenth full-length episode of Rush Strutter Zep Magik - Kevin and Mike tee up Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy, a true underrated gem of the 1970s hard rock. Kicking things off, the guys run through some unfinished business from the 2112 and Jimmy Page/Chopin shows, and Kevin recounts his recent reacquaintance with Synchronicity by the Police. Mike shares his enthusiasm regarding the triumphant return of the Bayside High and Drunk podcast and offers a shoutout to the good folks at Trojan City Music for quickly repairing his beloved Vintage-brand Greeny/Moore Les Paul after a late-night mishap. A meandering trip through the track listing of Jailbreak reveals that the guys are as close to the state of sympatico as they’ve ever been on a RSZM review as the guys chat about the life and legacy of Phil Lynott, the enduring influence of Thin Lizzy, and noteworthy covers of cuts from this album by Gary Moore and Everclear.
