At the complete opposite side of the spectrum to Led Zepp, I'm currently really enjoying Richard Thompson's latest offering. Unlike anything he's ever released before..
.
Love Led zep + Richard Thompson I tried to buy his new cd in hmv today and was told its not out yet also is it any good rumour and sigh good you me us good ???????????
I bought it direct from Richard Thompson's own website, I'm on his mailing list so I had pre-ordered it.
As I said before, it's unlike anything he's released before. Rumor & Sigh / You Me Us it ain't!
It started off life as a single short piece of music to hightlight the double bass, and morphed into a full length musical.
Features the great Harry Shearer as the orator, a full string section etc. and has songs about serial killers, art critics, gangsters molls, gluttons amongst many. The usual RT objects of scorn!
Whether you'll like it or not I can't possibly say.The nearest to it for the variety would be his 1000 Years of Popular Music album.
Might be worth waiting until it's on Spotify to check it out first.
Personally I love it.
