Back in the day, 1975-78 to be precise, Thin Lizzy were THE band, and Brian Robertson was THE guitarist.
Find me a blues rock guitarist from that era that doesn't sight Robertson as a defining influence and I'll find you someone who can't play with soul, taste, etc.
Short and less successful stints with Wild Horses and Motorhead followed but 30 odd years have passed since Live and Dangerous and the question had to be could he still cut the mustard?
From the first beat of the opening title the answer is emphatically yes.
Sure it's classic rock, sure this could have been written a few decades ago - and a good slice of it was - but the contemporary production makes it feel both new and old at the same time. You know where you are and where it's going but that ain't no bad thing. Always a top guitarist, the surprise is that Robertson's vocals are also top notch - not that he sings lead on all of the tracks.
Despite his doubts about the feasibility of future work with this line up, we can only hope that there are tours and more recordings to come.
Buy it - diamonds of this quality were never more affordable or enjoyable.

I got this album yesterday and admittedly wasnt sure what to make of it. 5 listens later i love it.
I have all the lizzy albums and another perfect day happens to be one of my favourite albums by motorhead and i have them all.
This isnt another perfect day part 2 nor is it thin lizzy part 2 either. There is some of that distinctive tone displayed on johnny the fox etc: so there is no mistaking the player, but it is a bit more.................strict/polished?
great production, good original tunes, as well as a few reworkings of a lizzy song here and there. just a real good solid album. the first 2 tracks are good, bit strange perhaps when you think of robbos other songs.
track 3 is a reworking of its only money (for me the worst track on the disc) but from track 4 on for me this is great stuff.
check out 'running back',track 5 and the really unexpected track 'thats all', track 10.
i really like this and on the strength of it would go to see a tour of this stuff and buy a follow up album.
thats it.

Don't get me wrong, I love Thin Lizzy but anybody who knows Robbo's work will also know that his Thin Lizzy period may not be particularly representative of his natural style which, in my humble opinion, shows itself far more with his Wild Horses period and his short spell with Motorhead. What a fantastic album 'Another Perfect Day' is and I think now regarded as one of their best thanks in no small way to Brian's brilliant guitar work. I read somewhere that Robbo felt liberated to stretch out a little without the discipline of the harmonised work with Scott Gorham. I've listened to this album non stop for the past few days and it's got it's teeth into me - I absolutely love it and I really can't fault his vocal contribution or his playing which is brilliant throughout - it's certainly better than most out there. We should all be grateful that one of Scotlands greatest talents has found time to put this together at last - it's classic melodic rock but certainly no worse for that (I just bet Joe Bonamassa has got himself a copy). Let him move on from his Lizzy days - rock on Robbo, more of the same soon please and what about a tour?, it's way overdue. I'm going to give this five stars and I didn't have to think too long before I did it either!!

Fine overdue solo debut from much missed player
Well guess what? It's 70s-influenced blues-rock. If you don't like 70s-influenced blues-rock, you may not like it much, but what did you expect? Read more

Great guitarplayer, mediocre album
Brian Robertson is one of the great guitar players from the 70s. His work with Thin Lizzy was phenomenal. Sadly, he has not released a lot of new work in the past 25 years. Read more

Honesty... a tad boring and recycled, could have been mixed better. Brian's solos are
