Richard Thompson
No artist to emerge in the second half of the '60s-a remarkably bountiful
period-has gone on to have a more productive and vital career than Thompson.
While still a teenager, he founded and led Fairport Convention. Thompson's
solo albums, beginning with 1972's Henry the Human Fly, reveal an artist
of unparalleled dimension. The series of albums Thompson recorded during
the 1970s and early '80s with his then-wife Linda, including the exquisite
Pour Down Like Silver charted the ups and downs of a relationship with unstinting
candor. His vast and ever-growing body of original material is marked by
consistent intelligence, taste and emotional purity. And Thompson is among
the most distinctive of guitar virtuosos, capable of breathtaking drama and
sublime delicacy, depending on the song and the amp setting, if indeed an
amp happens to be employed.
