G2E Short Takes: Richard Thompson
from Goes2Eleven Hosted by Matthew Cochran
Richard Thompson is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who’s pretty hard to pin down, musically. As a founding member of Fairport Convention, Thompson was a leading figure of the 1960’s folk rock movement. His long-running duo with Linda Thompson produced one of the classics in the singer-songwriter genre: the tortured and world-weary Shoot Out the Lights, which was released in 1982, just as the couple’s marriage was imploding.
