Richard Thompson music

Walking on a Wire: Richard Thompson (1968-2009)

Some great stuff, but too much of Linda and her wailing. When her voice is controlled and they sing duets, that can be a gorgeous combination. Otherwise, his music is just too personal to involve a second person. On this disk, though, he does a duet with his son, Teddy, that he once did with her. Intensely poignant.

Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys

It must have seemed like a good idea at the time. Johnny Depp, fresh from playing Captain Jack Sparrow in the highly popular if extremely uneven "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies decided to get his rock star friends together to make a CD of pirate songs and sea chanties. What could be bad?

The answer to the question, "what could be bad?" regarding Rogue's Gallery, the two CD set that resulted, is regrettably - most of it. The entire CD may not be execrable garbage, but the majority of it is.
