5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful 12 Mar 2013
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I always look forward to new Richard Thompson albums but I was especially eager to get this one as I also love Buddy Miller (who produced and also played on the record). I was not disappointed. From the opening track "Stony Ground", with its great lyrics and superb guitar break (which has a kind of forceful mixed Celtic-North African feel to it) to the final waltz time "Saving the Good Stuff for You" everything here is brilliant. Even though you can see or hear most of these songs at diverse places on the Web you must get your own copy of the album.

5.0 out of 5 stars RT does it again! 14 Feb 2013
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
From first listening, it's obvious that RT hasn't lost the magic. It took several days to get into "Dream Attic", well worth the effort, I assure you, but "Electric" grabbed my attention straight away. From the cheekily funny "Stony Ground", through the ironic "Another Small Thing In Her Favour" to the harsh reality of "The Snow Goose", RT continues to dazzle and amaze. I love this album!

A highly enjoyable album. I don't think there is a bad track- every one is worth a listen. I look forward to his next album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome performer 29 April 2013
Format:Audio CD
I saw Richard Thompson play in Boston this year and was knocked out by his tremendous performance, I wanted this CD to remind me of a very memorable night when he shared the bill with the equally wonderful Emmylou Harris

3.0 out of 5 stars The Eternal Troubador 28 April 2013
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
good enough but not as some from 1990s to early 2000's, though still immensely creative and enthusiastic in all he does

4.0 out of 5 stars Usual high standard... 17 Mar 2013
By Musky
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Like most RT albums for me, it takes a bit of getting used to, but now I’ve listened to it a few times and read the lyrics, I’m more than happy to put it on. I’ve given it 4 stars because I don’t think it’s his best, but still very good!
If you’re a RT follower then it’s definitely for you – if you don’t know RT and just want to buy one to ‘see what he’s like’ then persist with it, don’t give up, and you’ve exciting times ahead!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bathe in that warm analogue sound.... 8 Mar 2013
Format:Vinyl|Amazon Verified Purchase
Judging by some of the comments I've read concerning the high levels of compression on the CD version, I think I made the right decision buying the vinyl. The mp3 version (which you get a free link to when you purchase the vinyl) sounds horribly loud - all subtlety has been lost and everything is louder than everything else (great for HI NRG dance music, but not this stuff!). Luckily, the vinyl version has been mastered separately and sounds as nature intended. RT's voice and guitar sound great - a real warm, live sound, which brings out the benefits of using 16 track analogue tape to record to. I'm not too sure about the mix of the bottom end - the bass and drums seem to have been given a bit of a 'swampy' mix, but that's just personal preference - I guess that decision was made to give the record a more dirty sound? Overall though, I like the live feel to it. I think 'Electric' is another strong RT album, following on from the impressive 'Sweet Warrior' and 'Dream Attic' sets from recent years. Can't say I've found a dud track on here - can see (off the top of my head) Salford Sunday, Sally B. My Enemy and The Tic-Tac Man really coming into their own when played live, although that probably could apply to any of the tracks here. Roll on the Salford (Sunday) gig....
