 Rolling Stone : Phil Lynott: Solo In Soho : Music Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: )
What Lynott does is bask in the sunshine of his own eclecticism, writing and recording ten songs of such astonishing diversity – particularly for a rock & roller of his heavy mettle–that his ambition can't help but outstrip his ability.
Solo in Soho's most successful entries are those bearing the brand that Lynott stamps on his best Lizzy labors: a wailing wall of guitars, lyrical flourishes of hopeless romanticism framed in streetwise rhymes, and a breathy fl-cat moan as sinister as it is sensual.
Lynott's shotgun approach to Solo in Soho (a better title would have been The Ten Faces of Phil) makes it hard to assess what he might do if he ever decided to seek serious work outside Thin Lizzy.

 Phil Lynott : Studio Sessions - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Since Phil Lynott's Grand Slam never issued an album during their brief career, some assume that the group never saw the inside of a recording studio.
Several of these tracks would later appear elsewhere (on recordings by Lizzy alumni Gary Moore and a Lynott solo single), but it was with Grand Slam that Lynott first tried out such tunes as "Nineteen" and "Military Man," both included here in their original form.
Although sound and production-wise it sounds a bit dated, Studio Sessions proves that Lynott was still writing solid material up until his passing, and it's quite hard to fathom why Grand Slam was never offered a recording contract.

Philip Lynott was born in Hallam Hospital in the West Bromwich part of Birmingham, England, on August 20, 1949.
Although the album was released as a solo Phil Lynott project, it featured Thin Lizzy members (Brian Downey, Scott Gorham, Snowy White) as well as some very notable guests (including Jerome Rimson, Midge Ure, Mark Knopfler, Huey Lewis, and more).
Apparently Phil's real intention was to form the band with the same lineup that was featured in The Three Musketeers, but John Sykes left to join up with Whitesnake, and Brian Downey also dropped out, before the live performances began.

A solo album was the ideal place for Phil Lynott to try out styles unsuitable for Thin Lizzy, and though the results were patchy, certain gems were immediately apparent.
Talk In 79 allows Lynott to deliver a spoken monologue set against a tight bass and drum line, showcasing just what a superb bass player he really was.
Although Phil Lynott's solo work never seriously challenged his band's output, Solo in Soho (and to a much lesser degree his second solo album) exhibit instances of the pure talent that marked him out as one of rock music's true innovators, and Solo in Soho remains the finest album that Thin Lizzy never released.
