Description
Product Description Out-of-print in the US. EMI. desertcart.co.uk Richard Thompson's first full band recording since 1996's You? Me? Us? finds him in impressive form. Drawing its inspiration from the "cultural wasteland" of Thompson's North London youth, Mock Tudor has a variety and a lightness of touch to rival Rumor and Sigh, his most critically acclaimed album of recent years. Opening with the bright R&B of "Cooksferry Queen" and ending with the disturbingly simple "Hope You Like The New Me", Mock Tudor displays the breadth of Thompson's musical palette: the rhythmic "Sibella" contrasting with the thumping power of "Hard On Me"' and the bare emotion of "Dry My Tears And Move On." Other highlights include the perky, catchy rhythm of "Crawl Back Under My Stone" and the lowlife tales of "Sights and Sounds of London Town". Thompson's intricate guitar work is backed by an impressive supporting cast which includes his son, Teddy, while producers Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf take to their task with admirable restraint. --Ben Landon
