drbobw I heard him play at the Dome in Brighton, UK last night. Impeccable musicianship and some songs from this album. The great thing about live music is the connection between artist and audience, and Richard didn't disappoint.

Carsten Pieper A new album by one of the absolute master song-writers/guitarists hereby duely pre-ordered. Great to see this on Bandcamp. He's one of my absolute musical heroes!

PS Now, that the album has been released: Yeah, my high expectations have been met. Excellent songwriting and musicianship, again and again:-)))

PPS Delivered in shiny HD (24-88)!

PPPS Yesterday evening the Ship to Shore Tour finally reached Dortmund. Fantastic concert. A delight and an honour to have been there!

redkayak Brother - sounds great! Hope you're passing through Chicago soon... Favorite track: Trust.

Pinwheel It's so reassuring to know there is still an accomplished musician out there who knows his craft and does it well; who knows how to play and still performs live. That's getting to be such a rare thing these days. Thanks for all the years of magnificent work. I can only hope that it's been as rewarding for you as it has for those of us in the audience.

slc_funk Great new album! Here's hoping that you're going to pass through Salt Lake City again sometime soon. both of the times you've been here in recent years I've not been able to attend.

By the way, I think it's great that you're releasing music on band camp. Is there a story behind that? I'd love to hear it. I noticed that Judy Collins has been doing the same.

pagoda7 Beside his expertise inthevartvof guitar, he is an inspiration bard with lyric as well. High recommend to any of his songs

about

When Richard Thompson began writing songs for his latest album, Ship to Shore, the artist was instinctively drawn to his own musical roots, employing them in the service of fashioning a deep and diverse 12-track collection that pulls from various styles, genres and eras, but remains unmistakably Richard Thompson. There’s the rumbling, Motown-style rhythm that propels “Trust,” and the straightforward riff-rock of “Turnstile Casanova.” The drone-y “The Old Pack Mule,” an “old man’s song” that takes musical cues from 1600s-era European music, and “Life’s a Bloody Show,” an ode to “snake-oil salesmen and hucksters” that floats on a glammy, cabaret-like melody that’s “almost like a parody of a Noël Coward song, or something from Berlin in the 1920s,” Thompson says. “I liked the idea of having a strong base to work from and reaching out from there,” he says. “And I think of my base as being British traditional music, but there’s also Scottish music, there’s Irish music. There’s jazz and country and classical. As far as I’m concerned, once you establish your base you can reach out anywhere. It’ll still be you ringing through, wherever you decide to go musically.”

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
