If you asked twelve RT fans for a selection from the 5 Capitol CDs you would probably get a dozen different lists, so I would call this "A Sample ..." rather than "The Best ...". That being said, it is a great collection from a rich period of his career. Hard to go wrong as an introduction to a great guitarist and songwriter. For the person who already has these CDs there are three bonus tracks worth having and the added bonus CD of live material.
This is a good CD(AA+) for someone who is unfamiliar with Richard Thompson & for those who know him very well. I like every cut on this wonderful collection of some of his finest solo work. One of my favorites here( I feel SO Good)This CD is just a small sample of his life's work.For more check out Richard & Linda Thompson (Shoot out the Lights) Or even go back to his days in Fairport Convention. This collection is A Must for for any lover of what is just some very good music.
This CD has many great Richard Thompson classic songs.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The songs are great and so are the musicans lead by Richard Thompson. This is a CD that even a person unfamiliar with Richard Thompson will love after one listen. If you have never heard of Richard Thompson you are in for an audio treat.
