Hit: 5 Stars
Man, what can be said about this band? One of the most overlooked of the "classic" rock bands, their name is rarely mentioned in the same sentence as Led Zep, the Stones, or the Who, but they surely deserve a place among the upper echelons of the genre. This album is one of the reasons why: the songs are top notch, the playing is tight and inspired, and the vocals courtesy of Phil Lynott are just breathtaking. Sort of an underworld "concept" LP (IMHO), the album just flows very naturally. Highlights include the hard rocking opener "Johnny", the funky "Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed", the 70's metal mania of "Boogie Woogie Dance", and the soulful "Borderline" (one reviewer remarked that it was a great drinking song, I agree). But my all time fave on the record is the ballad "Sweet Marie". This song should be a staple on classic rock stations, but unfortunately US radio stations never gave it play. It is simply put one of the most beautiful rock songs ever recorded, and if it were the only song on the CD, it would still be worth it. If you like classic rock, then just buy this, and enjoy.Free Music Review: my personal favorite.

This whole album is bad a$$.The album starts of with the track johnny wich is vintage lizzy, stories in song in which they mention the streets,drugs,fighting etc.. That is what seperates thin lizzy from the rest.Vocalist phil lynott was a street kid who sang about what he knew and saw. Borderline, is another excellent track, also a great drinking song,I have drank to that song many of nights.I recomend this album or any lizzy album for that matter to any lover of hard rock or metal.They didn't get the credit of a led zeppelin or sabbath or any other band from that era but their damn sure my favorite.Free Music Review: Classic Rock Album Ignored!

Thin Lizzy made classic rock albums and radio and critics
ingored them in America. They were big everywhere else in
the world! This album proves they were just as good if not
better than the so called greatest rock n' roll bands that
are still played on radio. This album is one of the greatest
rock albums every made and Thin Lizzy is the greatest band
in rock history as far as I'm concerned. If you don't have
this Lizzy album or any buy it and them and hear what real
rock music is suppose to sound like! Johnny the Fox is a classic.

I listened to Thin Lizzy when I was younger but I did not realize just how good they were until I got this album in 1997. Songs like Massacre, Fool's Gold, and Don't Believe A Word simply rule. Many people think that Thin Lizzy had a few hit/good songs and then faded away. Not so! This band put out several strong albums (see Bad Reputation, Black Rose, Thunder & Lightning, etc.). Phil was just too cool. The man had the melodies, the lyrics, and the confidence. He should have been huge. Rest in peace Phil.Free Music Review: The Best Thin Lizzy album

I am from Limeira,SP BRA a city 150 Km from Sao Paulo and I am a #1 fan of this R&R band. They are not so known here and is pretty difficult to get a CD. I have 11 Cd's on my private collection and I consider "Jhonny the Fox" one of the best Thin Lizzy album. It is the maximum that a R&R band can reach. Starting with "Jhonny the fox"(the song) simply fantastic, "Fool's gold" with amazing guitar solo.
