How do we connect the music we love? Words are cheap. How does one song connect to another, for you? Post another song, based on what ever connection you think is important, to the song previously posted. It could be a theme, a feeling, an artist, a special time, a Sopranos episode, or whatever connection is meaningful for you.
If you can, post a youtube or other clip of the song.

What if this is as good as it gets?

Another rousing, witty Richard Thompson song.
"Tear Stained Letter"
http:/<wbr />/<wbr />www.<wbr />youtube.<wbr />com/<wbr />watch?<wbr />v=<wbr />LWP5GZ7XKac
I love the way this one just careens in and out of styles -- rock, Celtic, Middle Eastern etc. -- with Richard swapping solos / lede lines with the sax player
And of course more blistering guitar flash from Richard
I saw this tour, in '99
Inspirational Verse:
"My head was poundin' like a song by the Clash
Writin' checks that my body couldnt cash...."

Well, I'm sitting here listening to Richard Thompson's "Sweet Warrior" again, and, man, I am just knocked out by some of these tunes -- Dad's Gonna Kill Me, Poppy Red, Bad Monkey...
This one is right up there with Old Kit Bag and Rumor & Sigh as great, post-'80s Richard albums go.
Great arrangements -- the way he sets veiled-harrowing lyrics to danceable, ear-catching melodies and arrangements -- the signature of the truly great songwriters
Here's my fave: "Dad's Gonna Kill Me" -- a rollicking live clip of his anti-Iraq-war song, with his usual thrilling, all-world guitar work
http:/<wbr />/<wbr />www.<wbr />youtube.<wbr />com/<wbr />watch?<wbr />v=<wbr />UyV8gV7HYp4
"Dad" is soldier slang for Baghdad
"You hit the booby trap and you?re in pieces
With every bullet your risk increases
Old Ali Baba, he?s a different species
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here....
At least we're winning on the Fox Evening News...."

Yup
I was not a folkie in the '60s, so the first version I heard was a '60s-era rock n roll version. I cant recall now who the band was
I did later hear Rush's version, and his version is indeed great

If you were a folkie in the 1960s, you first heard that song from Tom Rush, who did a great job of it. Can't see a clip at You Tube. Tom had an uncanny ear for good songs, popularizing the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, and James Taylor before we knew them as performers.
