Customer Review: I'd read about this soundtrack frequently as it was given mention in many of the artists' CD reviews. I'm glad I put it in the shopping cart. Gustavo Santaolalla's instrumental snippets are beautiful, as they punctuate the soundtrack. He wrote the music for Emmylou Harris' recording "A Love That... more info
Customer Review: Richard Thompson at his most dour, which isn't a knock, just a heads up. From a tour supporting the tough and luminous POUR DOWN LIKE SILVER, always one my favorite albums, these performances cover a lot of songs from that record, arguably improved by Dave Mattacks' authoritative drumming and John... more info
Customer Review: This lady has one great voice. She can certainly sell a song. My only reservation about her is that she's a bit cocky. I think she could use some humility.
Customer Review: but there's really no other word for this album. Fascinating lyrics, lovely melodies, a thoroughly pleasing mix of the wry, the melancholic, the absurd, the surreal, and the celebratory. Linda's singing is wonderfully controlled and understated, but Richard's is even better. He may lack her pipes... more info
Customer Review: Sure, this is a decent enuf album but i cannot perceive why it is routinely regarded as one of rock 'n' roll's finest.

Customer Review: I have to confess I love Linda Thompson's voice and her music. As a personality, she has considerable charm.
This music is versatile in style and every other way. Good writing and good musicians add to the allure. The list of songs I love is so inclusive I won't type them all.
Customer Review: This recording of Porgy and Bess is an incredible performance!!!
The performers sund just beautiful and the recording is very well remastered!!!!

Customer Review: "Pour Down Like Silver" was the third album released for Island Records all within three years, so you could suspect that Richard Thompson was beginning to run dry of new ideas and good new songs. This obviously isn't the case as some of the very best recordings from the duo comes from this album,... more info
Customer Review: I wrote a review before but amazon saw fit to delete it. OK - Folk Rock Began (and make NO mistake here) with Mr. Tambourine Man by the Byrds, the answer to the British Invasion. There is no Mr. Tambourine Man on this box set - FOR SHAME!! Right off the bat, they are clueless! Harry Nilsson has no... more info
Customer Review: ...and little more, in truth. (And I'm a big fan!) It's worth noting that, in the UK, Universal released this collection under the title The End of the Rainbow: An Introduction to Richard & Linda Thompson, because let's face it; an introduction is just what this is. RT's solo '72 debut,... more info
