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.

this has got to be one of the very very best of Richard Thompsons work, every track is great and the guitar work fantastic.

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.

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

good enough but not as some from 1990s to early 2000's, though still immensely creative and enthusiastic in all he does

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!!

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....

Good service
Got the CD very quickly. Well packaged. So much easier ordering on line than trekking to a shop for it

Bought this item after hearing a track on the radio. A little departure from my usual genre. A great mix of music and would recommend to other people of my age.

I cannot believe Richard Thompson keeps getting better with age. Saw his last tour - outstanding musical skills (and very informative)
