Review

Rolling Stone (7/5/01, p.146) - 4.5 out of 5 stars - "...Captures all the intensity that made their work together so gripping, so full of possibility and so impossible to sustain."
Spin (p.110) - "[S]eductively bleak..."
Q (p.135) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[Richard Thompson] gives full vent to his talent on this dark, brooding album."
Q (11/99, p.163) - Included in Q Magazine's Best Folk Albums of All Time - "...confirmed Richard Thompson as the authentic voice of English music....The fearless use of seemingly incompatible instruments...provided a compelling backdrop for Linda's bruised voice and rarely has misery sounded so persuasive."

Title Note

Personnel: Richard Thompson (vocals, guitar); Linda Thompson (vocals); Simon Nicol (dulcimer); Brian Gulland, Richard Harvey (krummhorn); John Kirkpatrick (concertina, accordion); Pat Donaldson (bass); Timi Donald (drums); Royston Wood, Trevor Lucas (background vocals).

Recorded at Sound Techniques Studio, London, England.

The debut album from Richard and Linda started a career that has placed Thompson in the 'forever to be a huge cult figure' bracket. They did everything on this album, bar make the charts and sell records. Folk, rock, country and pop are brilliantly covered in a tasteful and controlled package that is a delight from beginning to end, with Linda singing beautifully. Concert favourites such as 'The Calvary Cross' and 'When I Get To The Border' are to be found here. It is not flippant to say that Richard Thompson is a world class songwriter and guitarist, albeit totally under-appreciated.
