Finding Better Words
The Essential Richard Thompson
FRCD 57


This product is included in: RT
The “greatest hits album”! Friends, fans, follow musicians and admirers (some of whom fall into all four categories) were asked to nominate their three favourite RT songs. This CD is the result. Spanning his entire career from a Fairport classic to his most recent recordings, this set is solid RT classics, including a version of his most covered song in a new solo version recorded especially for the set.

Though most titles here will be familiar to anyone who knows Richard’s music, the versions will not. In several cases, we hear a performance startlingly different from the released version. One song, much loved by his hardcore fans, has never been previously released. The songs are classics: here are many previously-unheard recordings, destined to become classics in their own right.
