WHISKEY IN THE JAR (sometimes spelt Whisky) is a compilation album by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, originally released in 1996, covering the early part of the band's career. There are various versions of this album, released by different record companies, with the same track listing but with different covers. This album should not be confused with the many other Thin Lizzy compilation albums of the same name, with different track listings. 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.
PERSONNEL: Phil Lynott – bass guitar, vocals, acoustic guitar; Eric Bell – guitars; Brian Downey – drums, percussion; Gary Moore – guitar, backing vocals; Jan Schelhaas – organ.
The Thin Lizzy story is a Boy's Own tale of rock'n'roll excess. The fights, the booze, the women and, more tragically, the drugs are all part of the twisted tale that unfolded as the band graduated from Ireland's clubs and ballrooms in the late '60s through to becoming a household name by the late '70s. On January 4, 1986, the Lizzy leader drew his last breath, having suffered multiple internal abscesses and blood poisoning leading to heart, kidney and liver failure. Some 35 years after Philip's tragic death you realise that Thin Lizzy themselves had already achieved as much: music without barriers, indeed.
