A masterclass on controlled aggression. This is one of the snarliest, nasty, dissonant solos you'll ever hear.

Agree!

Saw Richard Thompson twice, absolutely stellar both times.

[@goodun2974]

I've seen him probably 30 times over the years, but only twice with a band (back in the late 1980s). He's touring with a band again this year, but unfortunately the shows are a bit far away from me, and there's hardly any seats left ---- they're expensive too ---- and they're up in the nosebleed section. The economics of touring with a band are difficult these days unless you're a huge star, but I'm glad to see he's able to get out there and perform again. I used to see him solo in small clubs for about $40 back in the 90's !

[@sagecreekwitt3301]

Michael Jerome is great! Both Thompson's are always good.

[@plethoraofpinatas.]

That solo blows most solos out of the atmosphere!

[@haolefly]

Any inkling who this song was written about? Who is "pal"?

[@yokerecords803]

I had heard it is about Bob Dylan wronging Richard in some way. Not 100% sure it is true, but that has been written.

[@Cleapatr]

I doubt it ​@@yokerecords803
