Thompson, Richard & Linda - I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

NEW VINYL LP ON ISLAND 2014.

Richard Thompson found a sympathetic companion in his then-new wife Linda Thompson, with whom he collaborates on 1974’s mystic I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight. While only his second solo record, the guitar virtuoso sounds well beyond his years on an effort simultaneously bathed in thematic darkness and illuminated with melodies that glisten with elegance, beauty, and joy. With her rich and transparent voice, and superb feel for nuance, Linda effortlessly pairs with her mate’s consequential fare—no an easy task.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Thompson_%28musician%29X
