Ditto on everything said about Unhalfbricking. C'ept I missed that on the
liner notes of MM , I totally see it now and realize why I love that album
so much (and that song in particular). I've loved FC for years and years.
I'd recommend all of the ones that Sandy Denny sings on and all of the ones
that RT plays on (which surprise are almost the same except for Rising for
the Moon which is without RT). Get Liege and Lief again Next I would say.
And then get my personal favorite of theirs: "What we did for our holidays".
Also , while it's sometimes easy to hear a likeness between RT and TV's
playing, does anyone here the similarity between Richard Thompson and Bob
Mould's playing ?
Over and Out,
Russ
