With a career that began in the early 1960s, Richard Thompson is an essential figure in English folk, a brilliant guitarist and songwriter who made his mark on history with his band Fairport Convention, the albums recorded with his wife Linda, and his solo discography. Here is a new chapter, particularly successful. At 66, Richard Thompson teamed up with one of his disciples, American Jeff Tweedy (of Wilco), who produced Still. On the program, a dozen songs with fully embraced folk classicism: the warmth of acoustic and electric guitars, the breadth of a vocal performance supported by female choruses, the subtlety of the ballads (Broken Doll, Josephine), and the Celtic influences that still surface here and there on the albums of this giant.
