Enjoy!
Thin Lizzy are a hard rock band that was formed in 1969 in Dublin, Ireland, when Phil Lynott (lead vocals, bass guitar) and Brian Downey (drums) met while still in school.
Phil Lynott led Thin Lizzy throughout their music career with 12 studio albums. He wrote most of the material and the band scored some major international hits like: "Jailbreak", "Whiskey in the Jar" (a traditional Irish ballad) and "The Boys Are Back in Town".
Another famous song by Thin Lizzy is "Cowboy Song", which according to Phil Lynott's biography, Thin Lizzy's pioneering twin guitar in the song was in fact a mistake. Brian Robertson was doing a take and the engineer left a delay on his guitar, millisecond, so he was harmonizing with himself.
Scott Gorham added that the band kept doing it on other songs, although they weren't thinking about it as a Thin Lizzy sound or signature, that was until they read about it in the paper.
