I love Rhichard Thompson. Two favorite songs -- one is on this album called Persuasion (the other on another album is "I misunderstood") -- I have completely replayed the song 12 or more times in a row. Love his voice. The music and the lyrics. Great singer.

Thompson is a veteran British folk-rock troubadour who is an instrumental virtuoso, a soulful singer, and a songwriter whose depth and emotional complexity rival Dylan's.
