   I recently bought this album on the basis of several glittering reviews
in the trade rags. On the basis of these reviews I came up with a some-
what mixed review. If my memory serves me right, the two of them were
the guiding force behind Fairport Convention. The new album sounds much
the same - electrified folk music. Richard Thompson is a very accomplished
writer and guitar player but is also a dead ringer for Gordon Lightfoot
when he sings. His wife Linda also has a beautiful voice and the duets
seem to fare better than Richard on his own [personal comment]. It's a
very nice listening album as a whole, with some exquisite guitar work.
But if your looking for a rock and roller - look elseware.
