In Reply to: Any Richard Thompson fans?? posted by bboroski on May 27, 2006 at 06:15:33:
....well, 5 foot 11 and 170 pounds, but I digress....Here are the first ones I would get:
Shoot Out the Lights
or....maybe :
The Best of Richard & Linda Thompson: The Island Records Years
I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
Th above three are with him and his ex, IMHO some of his finest works....
Rumor and Sigh
A killer solo album
Everything is out on vinyl.
If you find yourself wanting more....the 5 CD box set at the link for Free Reed is suburb and sublime. It has 85 songs that were not on any album using these takes or versions.
Perhaps a better choice if you are just getting into him is the 3 CD set called Watching The Dark....it is a great overview of RT over all time frames....
