Terrific album!
Richard is the best guitar player - and songwriter - that most people have never heard of.
I saw The Richard Thompson Band perform live around that time.
It was the full electric band with Clive Gregson and Christine Collister.
There was a 20 minute power failure during the performance.
Remarkably they kept playing and never missed a beat.
I've seen Richard Thompson play solo acoustic a half dozen times since,
including a spooky Halloween performance at St Ann's in downtown Brooklyn.
Besides Richard's solo recordings be sure to check out his work with Fairport Convention, and the remarkable Richard & Linda Thompson albums.
