Richard Thompson Rumor And Sigh Rar4/13/2021
When I was a kid, (the Vincent Black Lightning) was always the exotic bike, that was always the one, the one that you went ooh, wow.Id always been looking for English ideas that didnt sound corny, that had some romance to them and around which you could pin a song.And this song started with a motorcycle, it started with the Vincent.
Richard Thompson While Richard Thompsons 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. Given this, 1991s Rumor and Sigh is arguably the best album for those wanting to sample Thompsons work for the first time. It captures Thompson at the top of his form on all fronts, but also gives his songs just enough polish to make them approachable for the unconverted, and though its several shades darker than the average adult-contemporary album, it honors Thompsons obsession with romantic despair and the less pleasant quirks of fate without sounding depressing in the process. Producer Mitchell Froom tricked up Thompsons sound a bit, but his approach added to the material rather than interfering with it; the topsy-turvy keyboards and sharp, snapping drum sound on Gray Walls and You Dream Too Much actually add to their narrative drama, and Froom coaxed some of Thompsons most soulful vocals on Why Must I Plead and I Misunderstood. While Rumor and Sigh is quite slick by Thompsons standards, its clean lines and bright mix serve both the songs and the bandleader quite well, and make Thompsons tunes sound like the radio hits theyve always deserved to be.
