Aaro Koskinen"You? Me? Us?" by <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RichardThompson</a> from 1996.This has two CDs to emphasize electric/acoustic split (at 74 mins all 19 songs would have still fitted on a single disc). Two songs get both electric/acoustic treatment.Overall a pretty average RT album, but superb moments here and there, like "Put It There Pal" where he gets into that great 70s folk-rock soloing. The acoustic side also has its moments w/some creepy lyrics.Good.<a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/FolkRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FolkRock</a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/CD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CD</a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/RecordCollecting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RecordCollecting</a>

John EckmanMaria McKee, Maria McKee, 1989 on GeffenThis 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. <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/1980s" target="_blank">#1980s</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/1989" target="_blank">#1989</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/country" target="_blank">#Country</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/electric-fetus" target="_blank">#ElectricFetus</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/geffen" target="_blank">#geffen</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/lone-justice" target="_blank">#LoneJustice</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/marc-ribot" target="_blank">#MarcRibot</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/maria-mckee" target="_blank">#MariaMcKee</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/minneapolis-mn" target="_blank">#MinneapolisMN</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/richard-thompson" target="_blank">#RichardThompson</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/steve-wickham" target="_blank">#SteveWickham</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinyl" target="_blank">#vinyl</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinylcollection" target="_blank">#vinylcollection</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinylfinds" target="_blank">#vinylfinds</a>

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦Musical Interlude: Richard Thompson's album "you? me? us?" was an interesting experiment; two discs, one fully electric, one stripped-down acoustic, featuring some of the same songs. I would have preferred the exact same playlist, electric and acoustic, to compare and contrast, but one can't have everything. This track from the Electric disc, of a man confronting his sweetie's mixed signals, is a bit of fun."Am I Wasting My Love on You?" performed by Richard Thompson.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew6J8aVvS08" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew6J8aVvS08</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MusicalInterlude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MusicalInterlude</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RichardThompson</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/YouMeUs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YouMeUs</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Rock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rock</a>

No female singer in the band anymore, and boys are maybe having a bit too much good of a time as some vocals remind of random lads singing in a pub.There's some slower serious focused stuff still, like "Sloth".

Aaro Koskinen"Amnesia" by <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RichardThompson</a>. It's 1988 and he's now fully adopted his <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#US</a> mode sound, and this time it just works. A superb album. Also some great 80s reverb sounds, drums and guitar here. Some of the song titles are uncomfortably relevant today, e.g. "Jerusalem on the Jukebox" and "Yankee, Go Home".The album sleeve art is pretty awkward, typical for a RT album.But in summary a great record.<a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/Vinyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vinyl</a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/FolkRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FolkRock</a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/RecordCollecting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RecordCollecting</a>
