RICHARD & LINDA THOMPSON

Richard and Linda Thompson - Once Brave Henry 1972/3 - Floppy Boot Stomp

and also this from Floppy Boot Stomp and Brother Jobe again this evening . . . . . a classic early live evening from the man and wife team at the early peak from the time of Henry The Human Fly and I Want To See The Bright Lights comes this . . . . a must from fans of either and both!

From the earliest days of Henry The Human Fly this collection is pretty rarified and perhaps an acquired taste but really worth having for avid Thompson collectors so a most welcome addition chez Swappers mansions! In the recent interview with Joe Boyd, Thompson was teased about his debut and its hokey place in the star's repertoire which didn't seem to go down very well but this contains classics like Dragging The River, psychedelic folk reels like Nobody's Wedding and 'Tunes' but also classics from Thompsons back catalogue like The Great Valerio, The Poor Ditching Boy, Bright Lights, Little Beggar Girl and more.
