Phil Kindermann<p>Today’s listening is ‘Sweet Warrior’, the 2007 album by Richard Thompson.</p><p>A fairly typical ‘later-period’ RT album, this one, with as you would expect some excellent tracks, perhaps my favourite of them being ‘Guns Are The Tongues’.</p><p>Overall though, this record is not that high up on my list of favourite albums of his.</p><p>For me, it is too long and there are also a few ‘so-so’ tracks.</p><p>But that’s nit-picking, after all, it is a Richard Thompson album!</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RichardThompson</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NowPlaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NowPlaying</span></a></p>
Phil Kindermann<p>Today’s listening is ‘I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight’, the 1974 album by Richard and Linda Thompson.</p><p>Another perfectly wonderful album from Richard and Linda T!</p><p>Thoroughly depressing lyrics, as you would expect, but terrific musicianship and, of course, Linda’s beautiful voice!</p><p>“There’s nothing at the end of the rainbow,<br>There’s nothing to grow up for any more”.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RichardThompson</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LindaThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LindaThompson</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NowPlaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NowPlaying</span></a></p>

Phil Kindermann<p>Today’s listening is ‘1000 Years Of Popular Music’, the 2006 CD/DVD by Richard Thompson.</p><p>In 1999, RT was asked by Playboy Magazine to list his favourite songs of the Millenium. So he took them literally and this idea evolved into a touring show in the early 2000’s.</p><p>In chronological order the songs start with ‘Sumer Is Icumen In’ (circa 1260), through Cole Porter and The Kinks, ending up with ‘Oops!…I Did It Again’, the Britney Spears song from 2000!</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RichardThompson</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NowPlaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NowPlaying</span></a></p>

Phil Kindermann<p>Today’s listening is ‘(Guitar, Vocal), A Collection of Unreleased and Rare Material 1967-1976’, the 1976 album by Richard Thompson.</p><p>Some fantastic unreleased, rare and live gems to be found on this album, dating from both RT’s time with Fairport Convention and, later, with Linda Thompson.</p><p>A particular highlight is an out-take from the ‘Liege and Lief’ Fairport album sessions where Sandy Denny sings their cover version of ‘The Ballad Of Easy Rider’.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RichardThompson</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NowPlaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NowPlaying</span></a></p>

Dave Mandl<p>On the excellent <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RichardThompson</span></a> show at Town Hall last night: I'll leave it to others to comment on his guitar playing, singing, and songwriting. I'd just like to mention how surprised I was at his drummer's heavy and very tasteful use of his China cymbal.</p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: I&#39;m not a Richard Thompson guy by any stretch, was dragged to see him once a few years ago, but I can see why people are. Really great show with a full band and special guests at Town Hall tonight.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nyc</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/richardthompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>richardthompson</span></a></p>
Phil Kindermann<p>Today’s listening is ’Dream Attic’, the 2010 album by Richard Thompson.</p><p>This is an excellent album from RT!</p><p>All the (new) songs were recorded at live shows on the west coast of the USA, with a full ‘electric’ band.<br>The live sound quality is great and the band are top notch.</p><p>Could the song ‘Here Comes Geordie’ be a sneaky dig at Sting?</p><p>The track ‘A Brother Slips Away’ would seem, in part, to be a lament for Davey Graham who had not long since passed away.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RichardThompson</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NowPlaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NowPlaying</span></a></p>

Phil Kindermann<p>Today’s listening is ’Pour Down Like Silver’, the 1975 album by Richard and Linda Thompson.</p><p>This is, of course, a majestic album!</p><p>It's perhaps a little more low-key than their other records, but none the worse for that.</p><p>Weirdly, the track listing on both the outer and inner sleeves is all over the place and the final track (or last 2 tracks, depending on how you look at it), ‘Dimming Of The Day/Dargai’ is/are not mentioned at all!</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RichardThompson</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LindaThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LindaThompson</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NowPlaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NowPlaying</span></a></p>
