Singer, songwriter and guitarist Richard Thompson is recognised as one of the great talents of British rock music. From Fairport Convention in the 1960s to the recent solo albums, his music has been intense, exhilarating and emotive. In a career stretching back nearly four decades, Thompson has heard his praises sung by many of rock's leading players including Johnny Marr, Lou Reed, Bonnie Raitt and David Byrne.
