Richard Thompson-Electric

This is a two record set with a gatefold cover. Lyrics on the inside. From 2013 it’s a new one I bought in 2016 probably at Barnes & Noble. First time listening to all four sides. I don’t like it as much as his albums from the 80’s that I have of his. I have heard “Good Things Happen To Bad People” on WXPN a couple of times. The first track “Stony Ground” has some decent guitar as do some others. The acoustic “The Snow Goose” is one I liked with Allison Krauss adding some harmony vocals. Side four has four bonus tracks. “Will You Dance, Charlie Boy” is a good 50’s style Country Rocker withy fiddle by Stewart Duncan. He also plays on “The Rival”. “I Found A Stray” is a decent ballad, “The Tic-Tac Man” is another up tempo song. I Like this side the best.
