He is greater than Dylan .no shadow over Bob. But this guy is the greatest of🎉them all. Respect.

Something of this phrasing, voicing of chords, progressions and so forth remind me of "When the spell is broken." That deep melodic personality comes up new and keeps coming. Extraordinary.

his voice sounds great a faultless album i cant believe its so good it shows all the new young pretenders how its done

Saw Richard last night in an old church in Homer, NY and he played this tune. It rang out. Great sound. Not a bad seat in the house.

unbelievable signing and playing. Thank you.

Abigail Wright - this was his opening number when I went to see his solo acoustic show at Brighton in 2017 - I hadn't heard an acoustic version of Gethsemene until then - this, and his version of Sandy Denny's Who Knows Where the Time Goes were highlights of the evening: mind you, the entire show was utterly sublime from beginning to end - so hard to actually pick highlights - lol!!

Going to see Mr Thompson tomorrow night at the Brighton Dome - and just found out this is on his new acoustic album - so hopefully he will sing this one - so excited - third time seeing this genius perform live.

Just heard RT sing this (and so much else ) at Cropredy. He just gets better with time.

Eric Gidseg I was there too! Must admit...I'm not a folky so I hadn't heard of RT. I was BLOWN AWAY!

[@drbrit67]

Me too - awesome song from an awesome set. Gave me goose-bumps

[@andycope6683]

Atticus Borrie - welcome to the RT fan club - lol! I still remember the first time I heard Black Lightning - my brother played it for me and I was hooked - who was this amazing song writer/singer/musician that I had somehow never heard of? That was over 10 years ago and I still haven't waded through more than a fraction of his vast catalogue of work. Check out his electric guitar work - there's a live show, I think it's called Live from Providence, here on YT - up loader is Betty Klose - he does an electric version of this song - fantastic concert from beginning to end.

[@Ablet84]
