{"product_id":"johnny-the-fox-1","title":"Johnny The Fox","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohnny the Fox\u003c\/strong\u003e is the second album in what most fans call the classic four Thin Lizzy albums: \u003cem\u003eJailbreak\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eJohnny the Fox\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBad Reputation\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eBlack Rose\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReleased during the band's peak years (the mid-to-late '70s), the album is highlighted by the twin guitar attack of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson and Lynott's own songwriting. Although his romantic artistic ambitions often outreached his hard rock grasp, the songs here (taken one by one) reveal a more focused craftsman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall tone of the album is looser - funkier even - than on any previous Thin Lizzy effort. Of course, the only successful single was the predictable pounding of \"\u003cem\u003eDon't Believe a Word\u003c\/em\u003e\", but there are richer and unexpected highlights scattered throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gentle strains of \"\u003cem\u003eBorderline\u003c\/em\u003e\" reveal a melodic grace not usually associated with the band. The easy roll of \"\u003cem\u003eOld Flame\u003c\/em\u003e\" likewise unearths heart-on-your-sleeve romanticism; and this from a guy who's better known for casual dismissals such as \"if that chick don't want to know, forget her\", from the band's signature song, \"\u003cem\u003eThe Boys are Back in Town\u003c\/em\u003e\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury","offers":[{"title":"LP - Red","offer_id":50491061272907,"sku":"2220722","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50491061141835,"sku":"313884","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD - SHM-CD","offer_id":53640637940043,"sku":"R0796-2752","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":56495561310539,"sku":"R0796-0260","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Johnny_the_Fox_cb62a43d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727681587","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/johnny-the-fox-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
