Richard Thompson Live from Austin, Texas

While vastly underrated by the public at large, British singer-songwriter Richard Thompson has amassed a rabid cult following with his virtuosic guitar-playing and impeccable songwriting craftsmanship--first as part of the legendary folk-rock band Fairport Convention, then in a musical partnership with former wife Linda Thompson, and finally as a solo artist. Thompson is captured live in this 2001 appearance on PBS's AUSTIN CITY LIMITS, which has been expanded from its televised half-hour episode to include all 90 minutes of his performance. The career-spanning selection of songs features "Cooksferry Queen," "Uninhabited Man," "Persuasion," "Bathsheba Smiles," "Shoot out the Lights," "1952 Vincent Black Lightning," and more.
