Some wonderful Richard Thompson posted over at the only ROIO sites really worth visiting on a daily basis, the redoubtable Floppy Boot Stomp and Voodoo Wagon thanks to frequent friend and fine postmaster, Jobe! They seem to be dedicated to someone but modesty forbids  . . . . . (ahem)

RICHARD THOMPSON
(& Linda)













Both (all?) worth checking for Thompson fans and people who just want to listen to our best living guitarist singer songwriter bar NONE

Really fantastic collections in the rarities double consisting largely of live recordings of classic Thompson compositions for their respective years and finishing at 2000 only twenty years ago so if you don't get it now you never will! Hah!
If you have any doubts listen to the live version of You Can't Win from Washington in 1988 the solo alone will blow your socks off! One of the most blistering solos on guitar Richard ever committed and a savage inditement of the 21st century condition . . . . . . . feels autobiographical to me too!

Have at it, you know it makes sense . . . . . . . 

Of course you will have bought his latest EP!

it's a wee belter!
