It's great because it's real. Even to someone new to his work, like myself, it's easy to tell he's entirely sincere. He's pouring out his soul in his music, and it's every bit as powerful as it is beautiful. Thank you, NPR music.

So, let's get this straight:

You had in Nick Lowe and then followed up with Richard Thompson, one right after another?

How the HELL do I get in on this gig?!?!

Nice work, folks!

I feel bad, because as soon as he said "I love kittens!" I burst out laughing and didn't hear a lot of the rest of the song.
