Richard Thompson Announces New Album Still, Produced by Jeff Tweedy
SoundScan sample sounds really good
Richard Thompson has announced a new solo album called Still, which is produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. It's out June 23 on Fantasy. They've also shared the first single, "Beatnik Walking"; listen to it above via Aquarium Drunkard.
"Richard's been one of my favorite guitar players for a very long time," said Tweedy in a press release. "When I think about it, he's also one of my favorite songwriters and favorite singers. He's the Ultimate Triple Threat. Getting to work closely with him on this record was a truly rewarding experience, not to mention a great thrill. And he keeps alive my streak of working exclusively with artists who make me look good as a producer."

Thanks, cungar. I got an email from RT website announcing new release but got distracted reading his mailbag answers & never checked out the details. Had no idea that Tweedy was producing.

Jeff just summed up the feelings of all hardcore RT fans.

I love Thompson who's never quite gotten the attention he deserves (forget Jimmy Page, give me a Thompson guitar solo anytime). And Tweedy has done some awesome work producing folks like Mavis Staples, so I'm really excited to hear this is coming.

On the plus side for fans, you can still get relatively cheap tickets to his shows & get to sit a few feet away from him.
Just saw in the pre-sale email that a deluxe version of the CD will have a 5-song "Variations" EP from unreleased sessions.
