This eclectic compilation features Richard’s work with Fairport Convention, Linda Thompson, and solo. The first LP has a few great tracks (“A Heart Needs a Home”, “Poor Will and Jolly Hangman”, “The Ballad of Easy Rider”), but also a lot of unoriginal and dated filler that were “unreleased” with Fairport Convention for a reason (especially the Chuck Berry cover). The real magic happens on the second LP, where each side comprises a short solo instrumental paired with extended live renditions of passionate classics with Linda (Calvary Cross, Night Comes In).
