  • Vocal harmonies are amazing -- who's singing backup here?

  • @RisingOfTheMoon The complete lineup is:

    Richard Thompson - vocals, guitar; Jack Shit: Val McCallum - guitar; Pete Thomas - drums; Davey Fallagher - bass; also- Richard Greene violin; Michael Thompson - accordion; Debra Dobkin - percussion; Doug Pettibone - guitar

    - so it has to be the musicians who don't have to hold their instruments in their mouths ;) But you are right: They really do fine.

  • Who did the artwork in the video, is there a larger version of it? I'd love to have that painted on my Jackson Kelly :) and yeah Everything Richard Thompson does is awesome, i'm a metal guy but damn he shames a lot of the shredders, he's amazing.

  • @eakinj I gave two links for the image behind the "Used in" link in the description -- you might try to get a bigger version there :)

    (Heck, this linking restriction in the comments is a nuisance...)

  • Great ( No! Best ) version of this song. Must find the CD

  • @humptyflippingdumpty Easy: the Amazon link is in the description. Pity you cannot link in the comments...
