LPx2, Compilation, Carthage Records, 1976 / 1984 RE
This eclectic compilation features Richard’s work with Fairport Convention, Linda Thompson, and solo. The first LP has a couple great tracks with Linda (A Heart Needs a Home, Poor Will and Jolly Hangman, etc), but also a lot of filler with Fairport Convention that feel like unoriginal rock n’ roll tunes that were “unreleased” for a reason (especially the Chuck Berry cover). The second LP is where the real magic happens, each side includes a short instrumental from Richard paired with long renditions of passionate classics with Linda (Calvary Cross, Night Comes In).
Style: British Folk Rock, Rock n’ Roll
Vibes: Passionate, Energetic, Eclectic, Bittersweet, Romantic, Fuzzy, Storytelling
