A 'guitar driven' Richard Thompson album, eh? It'll never work  (ps Sorry, but I'll be honest and admit I think that song is a bit 'electric Thomo by numbers', even down to the solo.... ) |

He did a pretty good solo acoustic version at Cropredy. |

I like his description of the album being folk-funk, somewhere between Bootsy Collins and Judy Collins..

There is a video interview with RT about the new album here: http://proper-records.co.uk/2013/01/video-richard-thompson-electric-promo/ I haven't had a chance to watch it but assume that it will be worth a look. |

Thanks. Less than 3 minutes long. Quite interesting. Some impressive still shots. |

Sounds marvellous. I just hope the trio will make it to Scandinavia too. I have longed for RT:s more elctric side and "Good Things..." sounds really great to me!

Just the two quid for the extra disc made the choice easy....  |

'Salford Sunday' is a track from Electric, and coincidentally (or not??) he's playing in Salford on a Sunday.

Well that's a bit rubbish - we're seeing Fairport that night in London, you would have thought they could have compared fixture lists!  |

Cheers for that Mike. Despite having an incredibly unoriginal title, and an appalling cover, the music's fab! |
