Richard Thompson jokes that he has been getting away with playing guitar and singing for more than 50 years. But in reality he has been pushing the boundaries of folk and rock music, crafting dynamic guitar parts and lyrics that remain poignant and affecting.
We recently caught up with the legendary singer-songwriter before sound check at Freight & Salvage, in Berkeley, California. He was affable as ever, performing his classic song “Turning of the Tide” and sharing some stories about touring with his Lowden F-35.

One of my absolute all-time favorite writers and performers. Truly legendary!

Richard Thompson is probably the best example I've seen of what can be done with the drop D tuning, he's written so many great songs using it.

@2wayplebney Год назад

Agreed. I was playing along with him during a lockdown concert and realised that he uses Drop D a LOT!

Truly a one Man Band! He fills a stadium with his sound!

Sounds like he's playing two guitars much of the time.

@@billpeake5260 - so true - I remember showing someone a YT video of RT playing VBL in a hotel room (I think), sitting on a bed with just his guitar, only to be asked "okay, where's the other guitarist?".

@jeffwhitehead7990 2 года назад

between his musical brain and right hand lies a singular genius. writes, plays, sings at a rarified level …and gets BETTER every passing year.

@PeteD1884 2 года назад

I agree. This song is well over 30 years old, so getting better every year is a heck of an accomplishment. I've seen him just a handful of times - I hope to see him again soon.

The "Great, Legendary" Richard Thompson. 💖

@LeadMe2TheBliss 8 месяцев назад

I love RT. He is an incredibly underappreciated rock musician.

Just wonderful.

Adrian Legg always opens his shows with "Midwest Sunday", a piece that as he puts it will immediately tell you if there's anything wrong with the guitar, signal chain, PA, monitors and room acoustics. ThIs takes some serious testicular fortitude, because no other guitarist in the world with a lick of sense would even attempt to play that piece even under the best of circumstances!
