Philip Lynott Renegade

'He was probably the most naturally talented person I've ever worked with,' remarked Will Reid Dick, Engineer on Jailbreak.

Philip Lynott: Renegade tells the story of a pioneering Irish musician. From his early days on his beloved Dublin music scene through the adventurous period with Thin Lizzy, the band he fronted for thirteen years, Philip himself reveals the ebb and flow of his public and private life through his songs.

Once mainstream success arrived with Thin Lizzy's powerhouse Jailbreak album in 1976, his musical thirst only intensified. This book also offers intimate insight into his musical experimentation beyond the Thin Lizzy framework. The subtle solo annex to the main body of his recorded work with Thin Lizzy is often overlooked, despite being rich with lyrical depth, honesty, and amusing yet purposeful misdirection.

From the slow burn of his rise with Thin Lizzy to the unfortunate and unnecessary outcome of his short life, Renegade offers a unique perspective from the people who were by his side through it all.
