Johnny/Rocky/Borderline/Don't Believe A Word/Fool's Gold/Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed/Old Flame/ Massacre/Sweet Marie/Boogie Woogie Dance
By the time of Johnny The Fox the Irish hard rock band Thin Lizzy were firing on all cylinders having finely tuned their distinctive musical style. Features the UK No. 12 hit Don’t Believe A Word. (US:52 UK:11)
“Fine hard rock album by a band who knew how to riff it up but rarely forgot to include tunes and decent lyrics while they were at it.” “Thin Lizzy deliver a juicy riff-tastic album featuring some super tight jamming and awesome guitar solos.”
“A very solid Thin Lizzy record with lots of gloriously tight thundering boogie. Not everything is memorable but everything is listenable. The saccharine balladry hasn't aged as well as the phenomenal Don't Believe A Word, but there's a lot to like here.”
“Every bit as good as the classic that preceded it, this one opens with two of Lynott's character studies, Johnny and the blistering Rocky, before dropping into the moody introspective Borderline and the single Don't Believe A Word. Thin Lizzy at this point were among the best rock bands in the world, and Johnny The Fox is another highlight in a career whose highest points are often overlooked. Massacre is worth the price of admission alone, but the whole record just kicks from end to end.”
“I believe that this one finds all the things that Thin Lizzy became known and respected for, in abundance. They are almost mesmerising at places and at the same time they're rocking, cool and poetic, and they can really play.”
“Johnny The Fox is a must have for anyone who likes great guitar. Every song on this album is fantastic. Great song writing, great guitar and of course, Phil Lynott's awesome voice.”
