Our Take

Richard & Linda Thompson's "Pour Down Like Silver" is a diamond in the rough, a hidden gem that shines brighter with each listen. This album sees the folk duo delving into darker, more introspective territory, showcasing their undeniable talent for storytelling and musicianship.

From the haunting balladry of "Streets of Paradise" to the rollicking energy of "Beat the Retreat," Richard & Linda Thompson effortlessly weave together a tapestry of emotions and melodies that captivate the listener from start to finish. Richard's intricate guitar work is a standout feature on this album, blending seamlessly with Linda's emotive vocals to create a sound that is truly unique.

One of the highlights of "Pour Down Like Silver" is the epic track "For Shame of Doing Wrong," a poignant tale of love and loss that showcases the Thompsons at the height of their songwriting prowess. The haunting refrain of "pour down like silver, shine like gold" lingers long after the song has ended, a testament to the lasting impact of their music.

Overall, "Pour Down Like Silver" is a triumph of storytelling and musicianship, a timeless classic that cements Richard & Linda Thompson's status as folk legends. This album is a must-listen for any music lover looking to be swept away by the beauty and emotion of timeless music. Highly recommended.

About the artist

Richard & Linda Thompson

RICHARD & LINDA THOMPSON - The Dynamic Duo Divided Ah, the tumultuous tale of Richard & Linda Thompson - a duo whose musical prowess is as undeniable as their turbulent relationship. Richard, the virtuoso guitarist, and Linda, the hauntingly beautiful vocalist, were poised for greatness, but personal demons ultimately tore them apart. Their early collaborations, such as the seminal album "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight," showcased Richard's intricate fingerpicking and Linda's ethereal voice in perfect harmony. Tracks like "The Calvary Cross" and "A Heart Needs a Home" are timeless classics that resonate with listeners to this day. However, as their personal troubles mounted, so did the intensity of their music. The 1982 album "Shoot Out the Lights" is a raw, emotionally charged masterpiece that lays bare the pain of their crumbling marriage. Richard's searing guitar solos cut through Linda's haunting vocals like a knife, creating a sonic landscape that is both beautiful and devastating. Despite their split, Richard & Linda Thompson's influence on the folk-rock genre cannot be understated. Richard's technical wizardry and Linda's emotive delivery have inspired countless artists, from Shawn Colvin to Wilco. So, while their personal story may be one of heartbreak and division, their musical legacy is one of brilliance and innovation. Richard & Linda Thompson may have been a duo divided, but their music will forever unite fans in appreciation of their unmatched talent.
