One of my favorites. Great suggestions so far, but I'd add Mock Tudor and 1000 Years of Popular Music (live).

And check out some of Linda's solo stuff.

'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight' is a classic. I still need to get both this and 'Mock Tudor'.

I need to agree with that one. I actually saw him in concert, a few years ago. I mainly went for Jerry Douglas, and I will always remember the crowd banter. People wondering why Richard was opening up for Jerry. Well, I won't get involved in THAT debate, but I was very impressed by his guitar playing. Since then, I have become more familiar with his work with Fairport Convention. That is where his acoustic licks really shine.

Oh, and for those of you who are getting excited about that double bill? It was one of the FREE concerts held in downtown Salt Lake City, every summer. Richard Thompson, Jerry Douglas, free of charge. That's a trifecta, if there ever was one!

He is an amazing songwriter and storyteller, I grew up listening to alot of his stuff, but have no idead which albums it was from. I just recently got his Best of Album and am loving it. Favourite tracks are:

Vincent Black Lightning
I feel so Good
Beeswing
Fully Qualified to be a Man

And it isn't on the best of album, but Psycho Street is great. When I was little it was really creepy, and now alot of the humour shines through.
