Thin Lizzy to Record First Album Without Phil Lynott

(Reprinted from Rolling Stone)

Thin Lizzy are set to record their first album in nearly 30 years, and their  first without original frontman Phil Lynott, HotPress.com reports. Guitarist Scott Gorham said the group  will work with producer Kevin Shirley on the new album, and that recording will  likely start next month. “I’ll be going out to Los Angeles at the end of the  month to work on some songs with [guitarist] Damon [Johnson] and then I think we  will start recording in October in our producer Kevin Shirley’s studio,” Gorham  said.

“We are all excited about the new record but especially [vocalist] Ricky  [Warwick] and Damon, they just can’t wait to start recording!” said Gorham. “You  have got six guys there that are chomping at the bit that can’t wait to get this  thing going.”

The current Thin Lizzy lineup includes Gorham, Warwick and Johnson along with  founding member Brian Downey, longtime keyboardist Darren Wharton and bassist  Marco Mendoza. Lynott died in 1986 at age 36. Thin Lizzy’s last studio album, Thunder and Lightning, was released in 1983.
