Philip Lynott Kings Call (1980) HQ Audio
King s Call is a track from Philip Lynott s 1980 album Solo In Soho. I remember the day we received this album at the record store I was working at in 1980. We were all wondering what it would sound lead singer from Thin Lizzy s first real solo effort We were not disappointed with the sounds from within the grooves of this Thin Lizzy, but great nonetheless. Since I was a huge Dire Straits fan at the time, and still am, I was just blown away by Mark Knopfler s work on this song. King s Call is a seriously awesome track. Phil s lyrics recall the day that Elvis died with such emotion and power and Mark s guitar work truly makes it a standout track. Lyrics It was a rainy night the night the king went down Everybody was crying it seemed like sadness had surrounded the town Me I went to the liquor store And I bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin I played his records all night Drinking wit
