Review: Acoustic Sessions marks the first Thin Lizzy album of unheard material in over 40 years, offering re-imagined acoustic versions of songs from their first three albums. This project is a unique fusion of the band's legacy with fresh acoustic interpretations that feature newly recorded guitar parts from original member Eric Bell and previously unheard vocals from the late Phil Lynott. Tracks like 'Whisky in the Jar'. 'Eire' and 'Mama Nature Said' are stripped back to showcase their lyrical and melodic strengths, while highlighting the group's songwriting roots. In an effort to capture the aura of their early recordings, Bell replays acoustic guitar parts he originally wrote for songs like 'Eire', using the same 12-string acoustic that defined the song's foundation. Paired with Brian Downey's original drum lines and Lynott's distinct vocals, Acoustic Sessions is both a tribute and a fresh look at the band's early work.
