Jailbreak is Thin Lizzy's sixth album, on which they brought their twin guitars and Phil Lynott's storytelling to fruition and made their leap. The band's signature work, it is one of the finest records in hard rock history. Well-matched songs line up, led by the worldwide hit "The Boys Are Back in Town," along with the title track "Jailbreak," "Cowboy Song" and "Emerald." That song reached the Top 10 in both the US and the UK, becoming the band's biggest hit. The flowing twin leads woven by Gorham and Robertson reached a form of completion on this record. Lynott's conversational singing and lyrics depicting street scenes established his standing as a master of storytelling in rock. The album was a hit in both the UK and the US, pushing the band into international stardom. Their harmonized twin-guitar approach influenced countless bands, from Iron Maiden and Metallica onward. A timeless masterpiece where rock storytelling and the beauty of racing twin guitars become one. A monumental record, essential to any account of Thin Lizzy.
