[net.records] Richard and Linda Thompson

cbostrum@watdaisy.UUCP (Calvin Bruce Ostrum) (07/21/83)

Can anybody tell me about Richard and Linda Thompson? I have their
one fairly recent album, Shoot out the lights, which I think is one of
the best albums I have bought this year (of maybe 100). I heard that
they broke up both professionally and personally, and since then Richard
has went out on his own. I have the new Richard Thompson album, but I 
havent passed judgement on it yet (first play it didnt bowl me over).

The breaking up is fascinating given the content of the lyrics on
Shoot out the lights. Send me any gossip and speculation on this topic,
as well as history and recommendations. Or post it here if you think
appropriate; I will succinctly summarise what I get.
