Johnny the Fox is nearly as impressive as its predecessor, the
outstanding Jailbreak. Here, Phil Lynott writes a loosely
constructed concept album about a rock star that struggles with
the hard lifestyle and the addictions that often come with it.
Sadly, this would prove prophetic for Phil
as he would become a victim of said lifestyle a decade later.
All of the songs are very good, and as with all of their best
work, there's a good mix of emotions. The upbeat rockers
("Rocky", "Fools Gold", "Johnny") complement their trademark
wicked heavy metal ("Massacre", "Boogie Woogie Dance",
"Don't Believe A Word") and a dose of funk in "Johnny the Fox
meets Jimmy the Weed." However, it's the ballads that truly
shine here as the Johnny character deals with both depression
on "Borderline" and lost love on the joyous "Old Flame" and the
beautiful "Sweet Marie." Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson's
guitar work is impressive throughout, particularly on "Old Flame"
and Brian Downey's drumming is spot on, especially on "Johnny"
and "Boogie Woogie Dance." Phil's vocals on the ballads are true
tearjerkers. Nobody in hard rock could ever sing like him.
While not quite on the level of Jailbreak (few hard rock albums
are), Johnny the Fox is an excellent album from the underrated
Irish hard rock band.
