Cowboy Song
by Thin Lizzy

Though the song is strong lyrically, bass player and writer Lynott was never afraid to allow the axemen to dominate a track, and it features some typically blistering Lizzy soloing.

I think it’s fair to say that if you have someone in your band that’s operating on another level altogether, you give them their own spotlight. His name was Cliff Burton. He was 21 here, and died only 3 years later.
