Alber Lee does a great version.
By: daf827. on 19 Sep 08, 06:53:15
The second time I ever saw RT in concert was at the Bottom Line in NYC. He had this line-up. A great band with the "Petes" (Thomas and Zorn) on saxes, and his FC mates, Nicol, Mattacks and Pegg, plus Alan Dunn. Amazingly tight, yet jaunty and free. Great energy. Truly unforgettable.
By: thjinxter. on 18 Sep 08, 20:43:37
It was Patty Loveless on her "Trouble With The Truth" album
By: Philmbuf. on 22 Aug 08, 14:30:46
Thanx 4 the clarification. Yeah, that isn't Kirkpatrick.
By: keithGee2222222. on 09 Aug 08, 19:57:52
It's a Richard Thompson song. All the others are cover versions
By: keithGee2222222. on 09 Aug 08, 19:56:57
It's Alan Dunn on the accordian. Dave Pegg on bass. Dave Mattacks on drums. Pete Zorn and Pete Thomas on sax? It looks like the Hand Of Kindness line up.
By: harley2668. on 26 May 08, 03:05:49
Patty Loveless is her name.. She did a good version.. But this one is better.
By: cutelittlecaramelkid. on 20 Feb 08, 19:24:19
Got it....it was Patty Loveless...
By: frederickus. on 20 Feb 08, 17:50:14
No...a female country artist covered it and got lots of airplay on U.S. country radio years ago. Believe me, I know, having had to listen to country music radio against my will for quite a while.
By: cutelittlecaramelkid. on 20 Feb 08, 09:55:03
The song was originally done by a guy...Jo-El Sonnier. This song was a big hit for Richard after leaving Fairport Convention and divorcing Linda.
By: frederickus. on 19 Feb 08, 16:26:10
It did...sort of...there was a cover on - yes - country music radio in the 80s. I think it was by...aww, now I can't recall her name.
By: tahootz. on 19 Feb 08, 07:48:06
Thanx to all who have posted different versions.... sea shanty, Irish jig, country pickin', rockin' .. what a cool groove in all its forms.... jus' pass me another brew...
By: Philmbuf. on 18 Feb 08, 03:15:15
That's John Kirkpatrick on the left, accordion Simon Nicol far right, guitar, backup vocal Dave Mattacks, drums Fairport and Morris On Alumni, great musicians all!
By: engl63. on 03 Jan 08, 21:52:47
I gave a live version of this on cassette to a friend of mine and one week later he described it as "a sitar player on acid". It's since become a cliche but it's also pretty accurate.
By: nswlh. on 30 Nov 07, 09:24:21
Whew! How did this song not make the man famous?
By: nannerbj. on 28 Oct 07, 02:25:28
This is one absolutely fantastic song and yes I do realise R Thompson only does good songs but this is just fantastic. What an artist !
By: halbro1929. on 20 Aug 07, 21:54:10
they sound pretty good to me.
By: bergduck. on 30 Jul 07, 03:01:46
who is this cat - ARE you kidding??? Richard Thompson is a rock god, in Fairport Convention when they were rock gods too
By: kc7fys. on 13 Jul 07, 05:43:53
...still I'd like to see the version on video from his box set release. That one really features RT's mangling of the strings. He stands like a scholar while he plays some far-out licks. This and "Little Blue Number" are definitely two guitar opuses (opii?).
By: kc7fys. on 13 Jul 07, 05:40:45
I really like RT's technique on this. He pulls out all the tricks! Pulls, rips, shreds, bends the thing in half--all with that amazing RT light touch. He abuses a strat like nobody in this style!
By: cindyshealed. on 09 Jul 07, 03:20:56
Yes, thanks, I saw it a while ago.
By: RTFan52. on 09 Jul 07, 01:32:09
You can see them perform it together on the TV show Night Music. Amazing performance. The clip is here on YouTube if you poke around a bit.
By: nannerbj. on 05 Jul 07, 01:37:37
The brilliant Richard Thompson. Check out " I want to see the bright lights tonight" - Richard & Linda Thompson. Great stuff
By: cindyshealed. on 13 Jun 07, 02:51:53
You would, but I didn't, not being hugely knowledgable about RT. Your tone is rude.
By: cornleius. on 12 Jun 07, 22:26:17
I would think so, he wrote it. its on the 1982 album Hand of Kindness
