Reviews
4 Stars - Excellent - "...The range of performers involved here underlines the reach of Thompson's art....BEAT THE RETREAT achieves a continuity of mood that places it above most `tribute' albums...", 3 Stars - Good - "...Over a nearly 30-year career...Richard Thompson has established himself as a guitar virtuoso and extraordinary songwriter. BEAT THE RETREAT contains some energized renditions of his material...", "...BEAT THE RETREAT shows just how much a great song can ignite the creative spark within even the most mainstream artists...", "...Does Justice to a Darkly Masterful Songwriter and Guitarist..."
