Richard Thompson - Daring Adventures
The Americanised version of Thompson's schtick goes a bit Dire Straits-y with all that Stratocaster. Not a bad album, to be fair. I don't know how a person can come up with such a high volume of songs, to be honest. You can't help thinking that less glossy, more folkier versions would have sounded better though.

Richard Thompson - Hand Of Kindness
Thompson employs quite a maximalist approach on this album, with a full band -mostly comprised of former Fairport colleagues: accordion, horns, you name it. It includes the zydeco-flavoured country hit Tear Stained Letter, which must've kept the wolf from the door for a while.
The cover photo shows old Thommo on the Embankment, holding his bespoke Danny Ferrington guitar (show off!), with Battersea Bridge and Lots Road Power Station in the background. Great photo.

Here's the House Band's cover of Richard Thompson"s "Pharaoh"
"Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel
Around his feet the princes kneel
Far beneath we shoulder the wheel
We're all working for the Pharaoh" -

RICHARD AND LINDA THOMPSON
Shoot Out The Lights
1982 Canada pressingAnother one I haven’t listened to start to finish in a long time.
I first learned of Richard Thompson through my absolute hero Bob Mould, who did a savage live cover version of “Shoot Out The Lights” (from the Cabaret Metro in Chicago) on his POISON YEARS compilation that I drilled into the ground as a kid.
For years, I thought it was a Bob song, and when I found out it was a cover, instantly sought out THIS album, and started to explore Richard’s music.
THIS is still the gold standard of his catalog for me, with MIRROR BLUE running a close second.

Loudon Wainwright III, I’m Alright, 1985 on Rounder
Loudon Wainwright may be better known at this point as dad to Martha (Wainwright), Rufus (Wainright), and Lucy (Wainwright Roche) but he's also a prolific musician in his own right, putting out more than two dozen solo albums. This was his ninth album and third on Rounder Records, and was produced by Richard Thompson who also adds lead guitar on many tracks. (He's the "Rich" to Wainwright's "Loud" on the back cover photo). They also collaborated on More Love Songs in 1986 (on my want list). […]https://goatless.org/2026/08/04/loudon-wainwright-iii-im-alright-1985-on-rounder

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.

Musical Interlude: Recently I caught a commentary that while the person felt that communism stifled innovation, they also felt that runaway capitalism, with most money in the hands of a small group of oligarchs, was just as bad. I don't know enough to judge their viewpoint, but it did bring to mind this brutal song that reminds us of life under oligarchy.
"Pharaoh," performed by Richard Thompson.
