Thin Lizzy: Unlikely Lads With A Lead For Lizzy
Harry Doherty, Melody Maker, 31 July 1976
THE MAN IN Black from the City Of The Angels, Los Angeles, is still dazed by the unbelievably swift rise of Thin Lizzy and chats enthusiastically about his prospects. The Kid, from Scotland, on the other hand, sinks drowsily into the cushions of the settee, occasionally surfacing to enlighten us on his function in the band.
