Description
Philip Lynott: A Life of Contrasts The life of Thin Lizzy's guiding spirit, Philip Lynott, is a complex and fascinating tale of contradictions. This biography, written with the cooperation of the Lynott Estate, offers a unique insight into the man behind the rock star. Graeme Thomson's exploration of Lynott's life reveals a sensitive and vulnerable individual, raised in working-class Dublin and shaped by his mixed-race heritage. Lynott's musical alliances and cultural influences are examined in depth, connecting Ireland's rich musical heritage to hard rock, progressive folk, punk, soul, and New Wave. Drawing on exclusive interviews with family, friends, band mates, and collaborators, Thomson sheds light on Lynott's key relationships and the unique blend of influences that informed his writing.
