G-Nitro’s Daily Music Wrap-Up – 4/18/26
I got stuck with a terrible album by Richard Thompson & Linda Thompson, and checked out a 2025 release from Cheyada.
Favorite Videos include Woody on Beyond The Studio, Moon Sujin on LCDC Live, and more!

Musical Interlude: Heard this twice recently, once shuffling on my MP3 player, again on the radio, so it seems like fate. Here's a great cover of a Richard Thompson song.
"When the Spell is Broken," performed by Bonnie Raitt and the Blind Boys of Alabama.

Maria McKee, Maria McKee, 1989 on Geffen
This was the debut solo album from the lead singer of Lone Justice. She’s joined here by Richard Thompson and Marc Ribot on guitar and Steve Wickham on fiddle.
She’d go on to record six more solo records and some live recordings – but I don’t think any of them did very well in the US – she had more success in Europe.
My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is a 1989 Specialty Records pressing, with original inner liner.

Today’s listening is ‘I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight’, the 1974 album by Richard and Linda Thompson.
Another perfectly wonderful album from Richard and Linda T!
Thoroughly depressing lyrics, as you would expect, but terrific musicianship and, of course, Linda’s beautiful voice!
“There’s nothing at the end of the rainbow,
There’s nothing to grow up for any more”. -
Today’s listening is ’Pour Down Like Silver’, the 1975 album by Richard and Linda Thompson.
This is, of course, a majestic album!
It's perhaps a little more low-key than their other records, but none the worse for that.
Weirdly, the track listing on both the outer and inner sleeves is all over the place and the final track (or last 2 tracks, depending on how you look at it), ‘Dimming Of The Day/Dargai’ is/are not mentioned at all!

Today’s listening is ‘First Light’, the 1978 album by Richard and Linda Thompson.
After a couple of years away from the music business living in a commune in Norfolk, Richard and Linda returned with this superb album.
Having perhaps a slightly more commercial sound than their previous albums, it’s a great listen which really highlights Linda’s wonderful voice.
In particular the track ‘Pavanne’ has to be one of her best recorded performances! -

The answer to yesterday's #Sunday #ThemeTunePopQuiz
3 songs - Pink Cadillac #BruceSpringsteen, Little Red Corvette #Prince, & Delorean Dynamite #ToddTerje - are about cars/have a car in the title.
The odd one out was 1952 Vincent Black Lightning #RichardThompson which is a great song about a glorious motorbike.
There was an alternative link, 3 songs having colours but I gave an early heads up it wasn't a colour link theme. 52% guessed correctly.
There'll be another #PopQuiz next weekend

11th Century Boy
gingerbeer points out Richard Thompson's "1000 Years of Popular Music" in this week's free thread.
ca 2000, "Playboy asked a select group of musicians to choose their ten favorite songs of the past millennium. Richard Thompson, believing what Playboy REALLY wanted were only songs from the last 20 years, took them literally. He gave Playboy EXACTLY what they asked for. He chose the best songs of the last 1000 years. Thompson never heard from them again."

Today’s listening is ‘Sunnyvista’, the 1979 album by Richard & Linda Thompson.
A terrific album, the stand-out tracks for me being ‘Borrowed Time’ and ‘Lonely Hearts’.
As well as Linda’s ever-wonderful voice, there are other female backing vocals from Kate & Anna McGarrigle, which makes for a nice contrast.
Quite a spiky album in places too, with caustic lyrics pointing a withering finger at the conformity of modern society.
