Richard Thompson – Live From Austin, TX (2-LP Vinyl)

Richard Thompson's reputation as one of the most ferocious and precise electric guitarists in rock history was built largely on the stage, where his performances consistently outran anything captured in the studio. Recorded for the long-running PBS series, this set captures him in a setting that suits his intensity well, the kind of no-frills showcase where his guitar work and darkly literary songwriting can do all the talking.
