For the first time since 1983's Thunder And Lightning, a new Thin Lizzy album is to hit the stores. Acoustic Sessions, which will be released on January 2025, features songs from Lizzy's first three albums – Thin Lizzy, Shades Of A Blue Orphanage, and Vagabonds Of The Western World – reimagined as acoustic tracks, with Phil Lynott's original vocals augmented by new contributions from founding guitarist Eric Bell.
"I remember recording Eire from our debut album Thin Lizzy in 1971," says Bell. "I wrote the main guitar part first on acoustic and then we built it up from there. I played the 12-string acoustic throughout the track and introduced the electric on top.
