180g Vinyl Double LP!
Wilco's Jeff Tweedy produced Richard Thompson's 16th studio album, Still. Recorded at Wilco's The Loft Studio in Chicago, the album features Tweedy on guitar and vocals alongside Thompson.
Richard Thompson has earned the Ivor Novello Award for his songwriting as well as a lifetime achievement award in 2006 from BBC Radio. Thompson, who was a member of Fairport Convention in the '60s, continues to write and record new material.
"He can imitate almost any style, and often does, but is instantly identifiable. In his playing you can hear the evocation of the Scottish piper's drone and the melody of the chanter as well as echoes of Barney Kessell's and James Burton's guitars and Jerry Lee Lewis's piano. But no blues clichés." -producer Joe Boyd
"Tweedy helped Thompson make just the sort of album that's made him one of our greatest legacy artists, and it's an example of why Thompson is still worth hearing 43 years into a career that shows no signs of stopping." -Mark Deming, allmusic.com
"Thompson colors his songs with wit and wry observations to create Celtic-tinged folk-rock richly textured with his virtuoso acoustic- and electric-guitar chops.. aping styles from surf and rockabilly to Gypsy jazz and lounge music
Still is one of Thompson's most rewarding albums in years." - Greg Cahill, The Absolute Sound, October 2015
