Richard Thompson - Boxed Set, Cowcaddens, Glasgow, Britain, 8-16-1999 | Albums That Should Exist

Richard Thompson - Boxed Set, Cowcaddens, Glasgow, Britain, 8-16-1999

Paul notes: Here's a very nice Richard Thompson concert. It's from 1999, just after he released what I consider one of his best solo albums, "Mock Tudor," earlier that year.

I have to admit, I had planned to post this as the next album in my long series of Thompson's BBC albums. Most versions of this label it as a BBC concert. But right before posting, I did a little more digging and discovered this concert was done for a British TV show, but not a BBC one. "Boxed Set" was a short-lived music show around 1999 and 2000, done for Scottish Television (STV) in association with ITV. But, BBC or not, it's a worthy concert and one of his most high-profile TV appearances, so I'm posting it here.

I didn't have to do much audio editing. There was a short interview section with Thompson in the middle of the show that I got rid of, since it wasn't actually from the concert. Also, some of the cheering at the ends of songs got cut off as the TV show quickly went to commercial breaks and things like that. So, in those cases, I copied and pasted in some cheering from the ends of other songs. But that was about it.

Note that he was joined by his son Teddy Thompson to help sing the song "Persuasion." Teddy has had a successful music career of his own. *

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

This album is 47 minutes long.

Linda Thompson : PROXY MUSIC

For Linda who we understand has now pretty much permanently lost her voice and the new album Proxy Music is by her children and friends  . . . . . . . 

Thompson, who Rolling Stone hailed as having "one of rock and roll's fnest
voices," has limited singing capabilities now due to a rare vocal condition. 'Proxy
Music' , however, impressively showcases her songwriting range and prowess.
Tracks like "Darling This Will Never Do," and "Mudlark" hold a timeless quality,
while "Those Damn Roches" and "John Grant" (sung by John Grant himself) boast
very modern sensibilities. 'Proxy Music' contains performances from Linda's longtime friends and admirers as Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Eliza Carthy,
The Proclaimers, Dori Freeman, and Grant, along with many talented Thompsons,
including her children Teddy and Kami, and her ex-husband Richard Thompson
playing guitar on several tracks. "Music in my family," Thompson shares. "It's like
glue. It binds us."

Damn she was/is pretty!

Various Artists - Shining Bright, The Songs of Lal & Mike Waterson [2002] - Butterboy

Now I have only recently been singing the praises of Butterboy compilations and just recently I have been listening to these . . . firstly a stunning set of covers of two of the legendary Folk Dynasty, the Waterson family and here Lal and Mike are focussed upon with covers from Eliza Carthy (a member herself of said dynasty) and other family members too with the husband and wife team of Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson the matriarch who we only lost just recently really) but this also features fascinating and stunning singers too in the likes of Christine Collister, Linda Thompson and her son Teddy, Maddy Prior, Christy Moore and Dick Gaughan, legends all  . . . . . . . .
