Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>Musical Interlude: I love Richard Thompson, and some of his best work is when he's singing of heartbreak and love gone wrong. Here's a catchy song when a relationship doesn't live up to his partner's high-sounding words...</p><p>"She Said It Was Destiny," performed by Richard Thompson.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qVlJ_0-LSY" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=8qVlJ_0-LS</span><span class="invisible">Y</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MusicalInterlude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicalInterlude</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RichardThompson</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FolkRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FolkRock</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Disappointment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Disappointment</span></a></p>

The music is so good.</p><p>Regarding the awesome guitar work, I remember reading him stating in some interview "the guitar is there just to accompany song/vocal" (not an exact quote, but something along that line).

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

Can hear 70s US country rock vibes mixed in! Read some reviews that criticized this but personally I like the sound. To counterbalance there's a nice trad. instrumental "Choice Wife".</p><p>Their 1st album after living in Sufi community.

Great electric guitar on the title track! Boozing song "I'll Regret It All In The Morning" is pretty dark. "A Heart Needs A Home" one of the highlights. Today we know LP was made during their conversion to Sufism. Not apparent from lyrics, but knowing it allows you read them differently - maybe.</p><p>Excellent album, and one of the mandatory RT records to have.</p><p><a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/Vinyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vinyl</span></a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/FolkRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FolkRock</span></a></p>
Phil Kindermann<p>Today’s listening is ‘Sweet Warrior’, the 2007 album by Richard Thompson.</p><p>A fairly typical ‘later-period’ RT album, this one, with as you would expect some excellent tracks, perhaps my favourite of them being ‘Guns Are The Tongues’.</p><p>Overall though, this record is not that high up on my list of favourite albums of his.</p><p>For me, it is too long and there are also a few ‘so-so’ tracks.</p><p>But that’s nit-picking, after all, it is a Richard Thompson album!</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RichardThompson</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NowPlaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NowPlaying</span></a></p>
