Richard Thompson - BBC Sessions, Volume 8: 1992-1994 | ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST

 Richard Thompson - BBC Sessions, Volume 8: 1992-1994

Paul says: Here's another BBC album by singer-songwriter Richard Thompson. This one consists of studio sessions, with all the performances in solo acoustic mode.

Actually, this album only consists of two studio sessions, both for BBC DJ Andy Kershaw's radio show. The first 10 tracks come from a session in 1992, when Thompson was touring to support his 1991 album "Rumour and Sigh." The remaining tracks are from a session in 1994, when Thompson was touring to support his album from that year, "Mirror Blue." Most of the songs are from those two albums, though there are some surprise choices thrown in as well.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 51 minutes long.
