Philip Lynott – The Man and His Music Vol III
This volume is one of my favorites because of the last 3 songs. Phil was very close to Huey Lewis and these 3 songs are 
the last 3 he recorded with The News right before he died. Essentially they sound like The News with Phil singing but they are cool tunes. This also has another fave of mine, Out In The Fields. Oh, Spanish Guitar, Beat Of The Drum, Night In The Life Of A Blues Singer? Damn! Good stuff!

5. A Tribute To Sandy – Philip Lynott
6. Beat Of The Drum – Philip Lynott (B-side of Old Town)

8. Out In The Fields – Gary Moore (live: Apollo? 1985) w/ guest Philip Lynott
9. A Night In The Life Of A Blues Singer – THIN LIZZY (B-side of 12 inch 19)
