She Never Could Resist A Winding Road
In the old cold embers of the year When joy and comfort disappear I search around to find her I'm a hundred miles behind her The open road whispered... See the rest of the song lyrics

    A brilliant, nigh-on faultless work from an acknowledged master.

    Always good for a spirited rock song, he infuses Patty Don't You Put Me Down with narrative wit and charge that recalls contemporary Bob Dylan. We're all lucky that Thompson is on fire these days.

    Tightly wound--easygoing but uptight; the work of a man still striving for a modest kind of perfection. And--not for the first time--with Still he has almost achieved it. [Jul 2015, p.65]

    Everything you want from Richard Thompson is right here, right now, on Still. You wont notice Jeff Tweedy all that much, which is as big a compliment as one can make of any producer.

    Thompson's new album arrives as another example of how a mature artist can continue to innovate.

    No, this is not his strongest work to date, but it certainly keeps him in the conversation.

    Things begin promisingly with “She Never Could Resist a Winding Road” and “Beatnik Walking,” two nimbly played songs on which Thompson and his band get to show off their chops without showing off.... Unfortunately, that fact [a relatively small band playing together on relatively little time] begins to show for the worse on "Patty Don’t You Put Me Down."

    Like most Thompson albums, it has a few gems and a few duds. The first three tracks are a strong leadoff, showing off RT's various stylesLike most Thompson albums, it has a few gems and a few duds. The first three tracks are a strong leadoff, showing off RT's various styles with strong lyrics and fine guitar playing. It trails off from there for a while, but ends strong with the simple but catchy 8-minute "Guitar Heroes," which I can't get out of my head.… Expand
