@redsfanstu - well said.....I would never have known Richard Thompson is not for my adoration of Shawn Colvin....she's way cuter and a much better singer but I'm now just beginning my exploration of Sir Richard....so thank you! Peace.
One of the many highlights from "Beat The Retreat", Richard Thompson is one of the best kept secrets in Worldwide Popular Music, I seriously doubt that he will ever receive his justly deserved acclaim! And, oh by the way, Loudon The 3rd and Shawn Colvin absolutely crushed this and sent it smoking out of the park! Do yourself a favor folks, if you can find "Beat The Retreat", by any and all means possible buy it, you won't regret it! Long live and God Save Richard Thompson!
fantastic cover... one of those rare covers that surpasses the original ... and the original version was hard to top with the goings-on between Richard and Linda.
A lovely cover. Do yourself a favor and check out the original Richard and Linda Thompson version as well.

Great cover. I first heard this when I had the "Beat The Retreat" album. Dunno where it is now, so thanks for posting.
