QUOTES
“Don’t worry about Richard Thompson mellowing with age: The 66-year-old folk rocker’s songs are still full of dangerous women and treacherous con men. A U.K. folk-rock institution rages on at the world and himself – into his golden years.” 3.5 STARS
“This razor-sharp collection deserves your attention, whether you’re a longtime fan or a new convert.”
“At 66, Thompson is not just coasting, but thriving.”
"The best is left for last: Dungeons for Eyes is a furious, personal-political study of of a former killer turned respectable politician." 4 STARS
“Thompson avoids all the stock ritualized elements of rock guitar. When he takes a solo, it's a swerving, cathartic, edge-of-the-seat experience. When he doesn't take a solo, the bliss comes in highly concentrated doses. Let other guitarists babble on. Thompson is one of the few who can make a four-measure phrase feel positively epic.”
“With Still, Richard Thompson fans can rejoice in knowing all the aspects of his exemplary talents remain intact. He long ago realized he’s playing to a dedicated cult audience, but few of his peers can boast of work this strong as they approach their 50th year in the business.” 4 STARS
“Thompson remains a peerless songwriter. Tweedy helped Thompson make just the sort of album that’s made him one of our greatest legacy artists and its an example of why Thompson is still worth hearing 43 years into a career that shows no signs of stopping.”
