Phil Lynott - Spanish Guitar

This is the original single of "Spanish Guitar" that Phil Lynott recorded with Gary Moore for Moore's 1979 single. As the story goes, this was approaching its release when Moore and Lynott had a falling out while Thin Lizzy was on the road promoting the "Black Rose" album. Gary Moore redid Lynott's vocals and released the single. That version was the one that was released to a majority of the world, except for Sweden, which accidently released the version with Lynott's vocals. Oops.

This was taken from 'The Man and His Music' 7-disc set. Sorry about the quality...there's a few moments of hiss and squeaks that someone with an ear for it could probably fix. Regardless, enjoy!

@fwnm8 Sorry, i meant Metallicas version of Whiskey in the jar. not this song.

[Matshoppahulle]

@fwnm8 A lot of Rock bands have Phil Lynott as their favorite singer, like Metallica who made a version of this song in Lizzys´arrangement. He also sang a part in Jeff Waynes´. musical version of War of the worlds.

The critics praised him in competition with singers from The Moody Blues, Mannfred Manns´earth band and

David Essex, who were MUCH bigger stars at the time. Check out: Spirit of man,
