His guitar work is masterful, his songwriting is sublime. Yes - his voice is recognizable and unique, but that is why he stands out. To those who are not fans- go see him play solo live and you will be blown away- guaranteed! [ Reply ]

Ask any guitarist their opinion of Richard Thompson: anyone who knows their chops treats him like the royalty he is. [ Reply ]

fatcatjb Jan 29, 2012 - 18:42	I am not a fan of this song, whether is the Thompsons or Los Lobos. It's a dirge that just drags me down, crashing and tumbling...problem must be on my end, because I love everything else both groups come up with. [ Reply ]
Carl Oct 26, 2011 - 16:16	FWIW, I think that Richard Thompson is extremely talented and clever; however, I mostly dislike his vocal style, but I like this better than most of his output. I like most of what he sang with his ex more than most of his other stuff. I really like much of his 2006 1000 Years of Popular Music release. [ Reply ]
Cynaera Oct 26, 2011 - 16:12	I just love music. If it makes me dance, I love it. If it depresses me, I love it (within reason.) I try very hard not to analyze the technical aspects of a song or an artist, so when I read comments about whether Thompson used a moog or a wa-wa or whatever all else could influence a song's sound, I still just listen to what I'm given and base my love or hate on that. Sorry if I fail to to meet up to those huge expectations of those who can't just take a song at ear-value and have a little fun. I am a loser. [ Reply ]
bailey_comus Oct 26, 2011 - 16:08	I love his voice so much...I'd even listen to him sing the pina colada song, the macarena song, baby one more time - all sorts of craptastic songs - but this one is pretty dull. [ Reply ]

While this is good for folks who scare easy, it's kind of a drag for musicians and producers who like to scare people, and the folks who like a good jolt now and then. I think my husband invented this stuff. He says it has to do with things sounding different in big theaters versus people's home theaters. [ Reply ]

I would imagine in the context below they were referring to digital and mp3 compression, considering they were comparing CD audio vs. Radio Paradise vs. a live performance. There's this link for the wiki article , but I'm afraid it's long on specifications and short on explainations. But I love how you break down dynamic compression for industry usage! Even though radio stations compress the hell out of advertisements so they blast your ears out while still falling within legal parameters - and that crap always startles me. :( [ Reply ]
