Episode 13: Mock Tudor by Richard Thompson

Kev finally subjects Dan to one of his lifelong favorite artists; Richard Thompson. They discuss Richard's background in the seminal folk-rock band Fairport Convention, his most famous works with his ex-wife Linda, and his consistent and enduring legacy as a songwriter, instrumentalist, music historian and successful journeyman. His 1999 album Mock Tudor is perhaps his most acclaimed solo effort, but where does it stand in the world of popular music and taste? Where do his instincts as a writer thrive and where do they fail? What is his status as an influence and what influenced him? What does he have in common with Bobby Baccalieri from The Sopranos? Every time you hear this podcast Bathsheba Smiles, so Crawl Back (Crawl Back) under your stone and listen to Dan and Kev break it all down.
