His powerful, orchestral drumming created a distinctive bridge in a song that fused gritty blues with subtle jazz influences.<br/> <br/>The origins of "Whiskey In The Jar" date back to the 1700s, but it found new life when Phil Lynott began playfully strumming the traditional Irish tune during a rehearsal. Their manager at the time urged them to record it, despite the band's hesitations. Released in 1972, the song soared to number 6 on the UK charts. Though its success was undeniable, Thin Lizzy initially distanced themselves from the track, leaving it off their upcoming album. Since then, the song-echoing the Lizzy arrangement-has been covered by notable acts such as U2, Metallica, and The Pogues, among many others.
