  • Big Fan!!!

  • 2:20

    I've never understood the myth that Joe Boyd repeats here: the idea that Richard Thompson doesn't play any blues. I hear lots of blues in his playing. True, he doesn't play the obvious Clapton cliches that loads of guitarists do, but he does have more subtle touches that show a blues influence. The mention of Bix Beiderbecke and Django Reinhardt is puzzling too - they both played loads of blues!

  • Ghosts in the Wind - from the "Voltage Enhanced" CD of "You, Me, Us"

  • Thanks for the invite. Powerful and moving music. Thanks, blaine

  • Thanks for posting...very interesting. Was surprised to see Joe Boyd was so youthful appearing...I presumed  he'd be ancient since he's been in the business so long...must have begun at a very young age.

  • cheers

    much appreciated =->

  • It's called Ghosts in the Wind. First on an album called Across A Crowded Room. It's on a couple of his self produced live CD's, although they are both out of print now. It's also on a newer DVD and the RT box set. Fabulous song, great to hear, as in this clip, with Danny T (no relation) playing bass.

  • what song was being play a 3:00?

  • One of my favorite musicians of all time. Traveled to see him in Lexington last week with the band and it was well worth it!!!! Thanks for this two part documentary!!!!!

  • Well said mrgb46. I would just add that if people havent checked him out then there is a big hole in their musical experience.
