1	Rumor and Sigh (1991) more music like this by Richard Thompson While Richard Thompson's devotees will tell you the man is a triple-threat genius -- passionate vocalist, compelling songwriter, and sterling guitarist -- even his most loyal supporters will concede that the dour nature of his songs and the no-frills production of many of his albums make the bulk of his catalog tough sledding for the uninitiated. ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
2	Sweet Warrior (2007) more music like this by Richard Thompson After being given his walking papers by Capitol Records in 2000, Richard Thompson has taken a modest approach to his subsequent studio releases, 2003's The Old Kit Bag (a purposefully spare trio set) and 2005's Front Parlour Ballads (an acoustic collection recorded in Thompson's home studio). But Thompson seems to have relaxed a bit with 2007's ... see all copies from $16.59! new only from $16.59!
3	Liege & Lief (1969) more music like this by Fairport Convention In the decades since its original release, more than one writer has declared Fairport Convention's Liege & Lief the definitive British folk-rock album, a distinction it holds at least in part because it grants equal importance to all three parts of that formula. While Fairport had begun dipping their toes into British traditional folk with their ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
4	Unhalfbricking [UK Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Fairport Convention Unhalfbricking was, if only in retrospect, a transitional album for the young Fairport Convention, in which the group shed its closest ties to its American folk-rock influences and started to edge toward a more traditional British folk-slanted sound. That shift wouldn't be definitive until their next album, Liege & Lief. But the strongest link to ... see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!
5	Mock Tudor (1999) more music like this by Richard Thompson Just how lost Richard Thompson was under Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake's direction during the '90s is made clear by Mock Tudor, the brilliant sequel to the botched You? Me? Us? Producers/engineers Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf keep the production clean and direct, allowing the songs to breathe and letting Thompson play guitar. That decision alone ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
6	Hand of Kindness (1983) more music like this by Richard Thompson Richard & Linda Thompson's final album together, 1982's Shoot Out the Lights, was widely seen as a document of their collapsing relationship, despite the fact that both of them strongly denied that was ever their intention, and when Richard Thompson released Hand of Kindness in 1983, it was similarly read as a sad and bitter letter from a lovelorn ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
7	Mirror Blue (1994) more music like this by Richard Thompson 1991's Rumor and Sigh was among Richard Thompson's best-selling and most warmly received albums, even gaining a bit of radio and MTV exposure which introduced Thompson to a wider audience than ever before. But while Thompson has often expressed his desire to reach a greater number of listeners, he's (thankfully) unwilling to dumb his music down, ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $14.11!
8	Action Packed: The Best of the Capitol Years (2001) more music like this by Richard Thompson Richard Thompson has been the archetypal critics' favorite since his days with Fairport Convention in the late '60s and early '70s, a guitarist of obvious skill and originality who brings the fingerpicking prowess of folk to electric rock and, increasingly, a literate songwriter whose songs, by turns droll and dour, are sung with authority, but he ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $4.00!
9	Live at the BBC (2007) more music like this by Fairport Convention Is a four-CD box set of Fairport Convention 1967-1974 BBC recordings excessive? After all, even the Beatles only got two CDs of Beeb tracks into official release. But it really isn't too much for fans of the band, for the quality of most of the stuff here is truly good, even if the very best of it was already issued on the Heyday compilation. ... see all copies from $35.00! new only from $76.46!
10	Daring Adventures (1986) more music like this by Richard Thompson Richard Thompson's second Polydor album contained some terrific and varied songs, from the raucous "A Bone Through Her Nose" to the mournful "Missie How You Let Me Down" and "Al Bowlly's In Heaven." Good as it was, it didn't establish Thompson as a big seller, and Polydor dropped him. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.95! new only from $18.78!
11	Front Parlour Ballads (2005) more music like this by Richard Thompson As a live performer, Richard Thompson has become nearly as well known for his dazzling solo acoustic performances as he has for his blazing full-band electric sets, but he hasn't displayed nearly as much enthusiasm for the acoustic guitar in the studio, usually limiting himself to one or two non-electric tunes on each of his albums (though 1996's ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $15.81!
12 view cover	Small Town Romance (1984) more music like this by Richard Thompson Small Town Romance was compiled from three warts-and-all live recordings (originally produced for radio broadcast) of Richard Thompson performing solo acoustic in New York City in 1982. The above-mentioned warts (a cough here and there, a very occasional flubbed note) are tiny and difficult to spot, but Thompson was quite aware of them -- enough ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $11.05!
13 view cover	Amnesia (1988) more music like this by Richard Thompson Amnesia was Richard Thompson's second album with producer and keyboard player Mitchell Froom, and the two sounded a lot more comfortable with each other than they did on their previous project together, Daring Adventures. This being a Richard Thompson album, the high quality of the songs and the guitar playing is a given; while Daring Adventures ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $16.39!
14 view cover	Live from Austin, TX (2005) more music like this by Richard Thompson There are few more reliable live performers than Richard Thompson, who never fails to impress on-stage in any context, and in recent years Thompson has been issuing a steady stream of live recordings (available through his website and at live shows), finally filling a void that bootleggers had been attempting to satisfy for some time. Live from ... see all copies from $11.72! new only from $11.72!
15 view cover	Watching the Dark (1993) more music like this by Richard Thompson Multi-disc box-sets usually fall into two categories -- they're either overstuffed "Greatest Hits" compilations, or packed with enough rarities to ensure loyal fans will part with their money. Since Richard Thompson's career hasn't sent him perilously close to worldwide stardom, the triple-disc anthology Watching the Dark was created with the ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $38.00!
16 view cover	Moat on the Ledge: Live at Broughton Castle [Eagle] (2007) more music like this by Fairport Convention Fairport Convention officially disbanded in 1979, only to become the hosts of a yearly folk festival/reunion concert every August in England. This album is taken from their August 15, 1981 show, featuring core original Fairport members Simon Nicol and Richard Thompson plus original female singer Judy Dyble, plus later members Dave Swarbrick, Dave ... see all copies from $9.75! new only from $9.75!
17 view cover	RT: The Life and Music of Richard Thompson (2006) more music like this by Richard Thompson Given the length, breadth, and impact of his career as, arguably, the most revered figure in British folk-rock since he first joined Fairport Convention in 1967, it's no surprise that Richard Thompson has been honored with the multi-disc box set treatment not once, but twice. In 1993, noted Thompson, aficionado Edward Haber compiled Watching the ... see all copies from $67.38! new only from $72.01!
18 view cover	What We Did on Our Holidays (1969) more music like this by Fairport Convention Sandy Denny's haunting, ethereal vocals gave Fairport a big boost on her debut with the group. A more folk-based album than their initial effort, What We Did on Our Holidays was divided between original material and a few well-chosen covers. This contains several of their greatest moments: Denny's "Fotheringay," Richard Thompson's "Meet on the ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $14.25!
19 view cover	The Cropredy Box (1999) more music like this by Fairport Convention This three-disc set was recorded live in August of 1997 at Fairport Convention's annual Cropredy Festival. In 1997 Fairport celebrated their 30th year of existence, and this concert was an attempt to chronicle the various periods of the band's storied career by reassembling their most significant lineups. Original vocalist Judy Dyble, who only ... see all copies from $17.73! new only from $17.73!
20 view cover	Strict Tempo! (1981) more music like this by Richard Thompson While some listeners have expressed mixed degrees of enthusiasm with Richard Thompson's often down-beat work as a songwriter and his sometimes craggy vocals, no one has ever argued his gifts as an instrumentalist, and on Strict Tempo! Thompson lets loose on an instrumental collection of traditional British and Celtic jigs and reels, with a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
21 view cover	Meet on the Ledge: The Classic Years (1967-1975) (1999) more music like this by Fairport Convention Fairport Convention have had their fair share of anthologies, but the double-disc set Meet on the Ledge: The Classic Years (1967-1975) is arguably the best yet, rivaling the classic Fairport Chronicles, which was released just as the classic lineup was splitting apart. Meet on the Ledge is more exhaustive than that collection, and it also boasts a ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!

23 view cover	Grizzly Man [Original Soundtrack] (2005) more music like this by Richard Thompson Filmmaker Werner Herzog commissioned legendary guitarist Richard Thompson to compose and perform the musical score for his documentary Grizzly Man, about the life and death of Timothy Treadwell, a man who fled society to live among the grizzly bears in the Alaskan wilderness. In the manner of Thompson's previous film scores, the Grizzly Man album ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
