Diamonds and Dirt is the first solo studio album by Scottish guitarist Brian Robertson, released in 2011. Robertson was previously a member of Thin Lizzy, Motörhead and Wild Horses.
Robertson recruited several experienced musicians for the recording of this album, including Treat bass guitarist Nalle Påhlsson and Europe drummer Ian Haugland, who Robertson described as "the best rhythm section I've played with since Phil Lynott and Brian Downey".[3] Ex-Michael Schenker Group vocalist Leif Sundin performed most of the vocals, but the album also features Robertson himself and Riverdogs singer Rob Lamothe singing on one track each.
The album includes some tracks by Robertson's old group Thin Lizzy: "It's Only Money" from the 1974 album Nightlife, two versions of "Running Back" from the 1976 album Jailbreak, and "Blues Boy", a track recorded by the band but never officially released until it appeared as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of the Jailbreak album. "Blues Boy" was co-written by Robertson and Phil Lynott, while the other two songs were composed by Lynott alone. Robertson has stated, "I think Phil would be proud of what I've done with those Lizzy songs."[3] Robertson also recorded three songs written by his friend Frankie Miller, including a bonus track, "Ain't Got No Money". Robertson initially sang the song himself, but Miller suggested it would suit a different vocalist, so Rob Lamothe was brought in.[3]
