Vagabonds of the Western World
is the
third
studio album
by Irish
Hard Rock band
released in 1973.
It was the band's
last album
with original
guitarist
Eric Bell
and the first
to feature
the artwork
of
Jim Fitzpatrick,
whose work
would appear
on many
subsequent
albums by the band.
Reception
Pitchfork
reviewer
Stuart Berman
remarked how
the band were
"starting to kick out
the jams with
greater confidence
and consistency"
on this album,
with
Phil Lynott producing
"the sound of a
spiritually adrift
musician ecstatically
discovering his
true calling"
on
"The Rocker".
Berman also commented
favorably on the
"swinging"
"Mama Nature Said",
the
"gorgeous soul serenade
'Little Girl in Bloom'"
and the title song.
Eduardo Rivadavia
of AllMusic
described the album
as
Thin Lizzy's
"first sonically satisfying album",
with Lynott
"brimming with attitude
and dangerous swagger"
on
"The Rocker",
their
"first bona fide classic".
He described
"Little Girl in Bloom"
as
"absolutely flawless",
and noted
Eric Bell's
slide guitar playing
on the
environmentalist
"Mama Nature Said",
but criticized
"The Hero and the Madman"
and
"Slow Blues
as
"overblown"
and
"tepid"
respectively.
Canadian journalist
Martin Popoff
remarked on the album's
"crusty sound quality
and
style-searching
waywardness",
mixing influences
ranging from
American blues,
to Motown,
to early metal.
He rated
Vagabonds of the Western World
the lowest
of all
Thin Lizzy's albums
for four tracks which
"seem either simple
and
out-of-character
or dated",
"bearing scant
few traces of
the high class
Lizzy imprint."
