CLICK HERE TO CHECK THIS WEEK'S PSYCH ROCK & PROG ORIGINAL PRESS LP AUCTION
ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS WITH INSERT . DECCA SKL 5170 .
"Thin Lizzy’s 1973 album Vagabonds of the Western World marks their third LP release, their final album with guitarist Eric Bell, and a continued evolution of their sound. Sure, you have Phil’s inimitable vocal stylings and lyrical prose aplenty, and Bell — as underrated a classic rock guitarist as they come — continues to show off what he does best. But if their self-titled debut was a folkier affair, and the followup Shades From a Blue Orphanage seemed more soulful and a tad scatterbrained, Vagabonds of the Western World kicked the barn door open with a heavy blues/rock sound, while still retaining some of Lizzy’s patented folk, storytelling, balladry, even some prog tendencies. The result is an album which ranks as one of the band’s more impressive works.
Bell’s tasty slide-work kicks the door during the bluesy “Mama Nature Said”. The track is a respectable blues-rock number; Lynott sings it well, and his basslines effectively counterpoint Bell’s fretwork, but the song is nothing special. More memorable is the slow blues of “Slow Blues”. Anchored by Lynott’s walking bass and embellished by Bell’s restrained but effective licks, the song works well enough, but it’s Downey’s drumming that stands out the most. The opening and closing passages of the song are not as interesting as its rolling midsection, but this can almost be forgiven as Lynott’s soulful wails goes a long way to making these parts more compelling."
