For over 30 years, Richard Thompson has set the standard for songwriting as well as performing. Perhaps its his sensitivity as a writer along with his imaginative guitar skills that have helped him to secure such awards as the Ivor Novello Award (songwriting), the Orvill Gibson Award (guitarists) as well as the #19 spot on Rolling Stone's 2004 list of all-time guitar greats. "I suppose there's music that I want to hear that I don't hear other people doing, and because it doesn't exist, I have to do it. Or else become a seething psychopath." Richard Thompson (from thebeesknees.com) "Richard Thompson could say more in one line than I could in a whole song." John Cougar Mellencamp (from thebeesknees.com)
