Ivan Grach has compared writing for Richard Thompson’s new album to that on ‘Pour Down Like Silver vs. Linda Thompson’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Richard Thompson energies, virtually a rebirth. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Richard Thompson’s album Pour Down Like Silver vs. Linda Thompson falls to No. 2 with 368,000, a sales slide of 98%. Such great and happy songs.
For Shame of Doing Wrong is such a cool and optimistic song that things can get just better. Poor Boy Is Taken Away - A catchy, upbeat tune. The song feels complete. Jet Plane in a Rocking Chair is the first taste of the new album. I like the idea behind Beat the Retreat. I now have Hard Luck Stories as one of my personal favorites. Dimming of the Day/Dargai as a highlight of Pour Down Like Silver vs. Linda Thompson contains a ton of perfect melodies.
