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.
