Each track on the album is a freshly created version of songs featured on either the 50th-anniversary super deluxe editions of Vagabonds Of The Western World, considered Thin Lizzy's breakthrough. The new album also includes acoustic renditions of songs from their self-titled debut and Shades of a Blue Orphanage. For the first time, "Whiskey In The Jar," Thin Lizzy's first UK Top 10 hit, is presented in an acoustic format-an entirely new way to experience this enduring favourite.

Drummer Brian Downey, the only member to have played in every iteration of the band alongside Lynott, co-wrote the original version of "Slow Blues." His powerful, orchestral drumming created a distinctive bridge in a song that fused gritty blues with subtle jazz influences.

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.
