OF THIS IS TRUE

Black Rose:
A Rock Legend
is the ninth
studio album
by Irish rock band
Released in 1979,
it has been described as
one of the band's
"greatest, most successful albums".
It was the first time
that guitarist
Gary Moore
remained in
Thin Lizzy
long enough to
record an album
after previous
brief stints in
1974 and 1977
with the band.
The album peaked at No. 2
on the UK charts
making it the
band's
highest-charting album
in the UK.
It was their fourth
consecutive album
to be certified Gold
by the
BPI.
Songs
Black Rose
included the second song
Phil Lynott
wrote about a
member of
his family
titled
"Sarah",
the first song
by this name
having appeared on
1972's
Shades of a Blue Orphanage,
written about
his grandmother,
also named
Sarah.
The song on
Black Rose
is about his
new-born daughter.
The last track
"Róisín Dubh",
consists of traditional songs,
all arranged by
Lynott and Moore,
as well as many
original parts.
The song
"Will You Go Lassie, Go"
(also known as "Wild Mountain Thyme")
is sometimes mistakenly
credited as a
traditional song
but was in fact
written by
William McPeake
and first recorded by
Francis McPeake.
It is credited on
the album to
"F. McPeak."
At least two of the songs
"Waiting for an Alibi"
and
"S & M"
were debuted on
the early summer
1978 dates
before
Brian Robertson's
departure
from the band.
