Poor Down Like Silver

I'm a big fan of Richard Thompson's post-Fairport catalog. I consider Pour Down Like Silver, I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight, Hokey Pokey, and Shoot Out the Lights all to be essential albums. While it's true that solo years have been spottier, there are some highlights. For example, Mirror Blue is a great album.I also enjoy the Acoustic Classics collections, both excellent. He's still a vital live performer, too. We saw him open for Jason Isbell a couple of years ago and he was in great form.
