Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

It was the title track of this album--an insouciant heavy metal reading of the traditional folk sing along--that originally brought Thin Lizzy to the attention of an audience beyond their homeland of Ireland. Strange, as it still surely ranks as one of the most misbegotten cover versions ever recorded--scarcely less plausible a notion than The Chieftains having a lash at "The Boys Are Back In Town". Whatever its merits, the tune served capably as the Trojan horse with which Thin Lizzy snuck the rest of their resolutely macho hard rock into the consciousness of the public at large. Though Phil Lynott was unarguably a charismatic frontman, his slightly laboured rock & roll bad boy shtick has not dated well ("Vagabond Of The Western World", indeed), and Lizzy's sweaty rock also singularly fails to transcend its moment. Pub pop-quiz enthusiasts may do well to note that the keyboards here were played by Joan Armatrading. --Andrew Mueller

4.0 out of 5 stars The REAL ealy days, 14 Oct 2002
By Mr. E. Shiress - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I know some people who think LINE AND DANGEROUS was quite early for Thin Lizzy but this compiles them from the early seventies. It it clear to hear on this CD the influences of blues and folk, as on tracks such as Whiskey in the Jar and Broken Dreams. There is one track that is basically a plesent folk waltz, which just illustrates what a wide range of material they have performed. Retern of the Farmer's Son is great and it contains one of their unbeievebly corny but somehow catchy one-note -well almost- riffs, as used later in songs such as Emerald.

Instead of the four that they were later, here thay were just a mere three. Even full of great tracks I think it is unfortunate that only one track -the Rocker- made Live and Dangerous. I suppost that the title track is the one and only classic on this which is a shame considering how good some of the other tracks are. So even if it isn't full of classics I will still reccomend it to be featured in any Lizzy fan's collection.
