Having the solid rhythm sections - DM on drums, Pegge on bass, and Simon Nichol on the Kelloggs Corn Flakes rhythm guitar - keeps this tight. Nichol played with Thompson since they were about 16.

Only RT can pull off tenor sax and cajun air compressor trading fours...

God. Even the only rock-crit that slightly matters (R. Christgau) claims that not only does RT write better songs, but is also a better g-player than someone who was once proclaimed to be God (hint: sometimes goes by the abbrev EC).

The second time I ever saw RT in concert was at the Bottom Line in NYC. He had this line-up. A great band with the "Petes" (Thomas and Zorn) on saxes, and his FC mates, Nicol, Mattacks and Pegg, plus Alan Dunn. Amazingly tight, yet jaunty and free. Great energy. Truly unforgettable.

It was Patty Loveless on her "Trouble With The Truth" album
