Phil Lynott "I Am Just A Cowboy" (Ozit)
REVIEW IN RECORD BUYER AND MUSIC COLLECTOR, 2000

An interesting concept, combining interview footage with Lynott plus people who knew the late, great Lizzy frontman with music played by Dizzy Lizzy, a very good tribute band. It's a formula that probably shouldn't work. If it's a choice between this and the newly-reformed band's latest live offering, I'd reckon you might just find this the more entertaining investment.

First surprise comes when mum Philomena reveals he was born in West Bromwich, and from then on the revelations come fast and furious from Brush Shiels, Eric Bell and others. The music, as previously stated, is excellent even if not the real thing, and the result is a radio style production that deserves all praise.
