Proper レコード& CD

Review: Winner of the Orville H. Gibson award for best acoustic guitar player - yes that's right - British songwriter Richard Thompson serves up 13 Rivers, an album (his 19th) featuring a host of well-heeled legends and regular Thompson collaborators like Michael Jerome, Taras Prodaniuk and Bobby Eichorn. If you're new to his music consider it something of a balance between the salty croons of Nick Cave to storytelling appeal of Johnny Cash or John Fogerty. Oh yes, we'll be that bold, as Thompson was donned with a lifetime achievement honor for songwriting that came from the Americana Music Association. So yes, 13 Rivers provides this amount of channels, ballads and trips that will send you through the estries of Thompson's sound and style. Enjoy!
