2011 Debut solo album from Thin Lizzy guitarist with two bonus tracks. Plus 'The Brian Robertson Album', an instrumental set recorded during the same period. Scottish guitarist Brian Robertson first came to the attention of the rock world when he joined Thin Lizzy in 1974. Aged only 18-years old, alongside fellow lead guitarist Scott Gorham, Robertson was key to creating Thin Lizzy's distinctive and highly influential twin lead guitar attack, on hits such as 'The Boys Are Back In Town' and 'Jailbreak'. Following the huge success of Thin Lizzy's 'Live And Dangerous' double LP in 1978, Brian formed Wild Horses with Jimmy Bain, before joining Motörhead for 1983's 'Another Perfect Day'. But, it wasn't until 2011 that he recorded his debut solo album 'Diamonds And Dirt' at the famed Polar Studios in Stockholm. Brian formed a band featuring Michael Schenker Group vocalist Leif Sundlin, Treat bassist Nalle Påhlsson and Europe drummer Ian Haughland. The album also featured vocal contributions from Riverdogs singer Rob Lamothe and Brian himself. Influenced by Free and Bad Company, the album's bluesy hard rock also revisited Thin Lizzy's 'Running Back' with two different versions, and 'It's Only Money', plus tracks by Brian's Scottish pal, Frankie Miller. CD2 features 'The Brian Robertson Album', a 13 track instrumental collaboration between Brian and R. Jeffrey which was recorded around the same time as 'Diamonds And Dirt'. The package also features an extensive new essay based on new interviews with Brian Robertson conducted by Rich Davenport and Thin Lizzy expert Per Olsson.
