exquisite taste, and provides no small amount of head-snapping surprises -
features present in abundance on Electric."
- Wall Street Journal

guitarists in rock history. Listen and learn, Mumford. Listen and learn."
- Jim Derogatis of Sound Opinions
"[Thompson is] a folksinger who doesn't sound out of place shredding like
an arena-rock star... and still writes songs that sting and storm."
- NPR
"Brilliant British guitarist and witty songwriter Richard Thompson emerges
with his strongest collection since 1999 standout Mock Tudor." - Billboard
"Folk-rock legend at the top of his game."
- Uncut
"It's up there with his best." ****

LOS ANGELES, CA - December 5, 2013 - As the New Year approaches, Richard Thompsonprepares for a headline tour that kicks off in Saratoga, Calif. on Friday, January 10, 2014. 2013 was a banner year for the legendary guitarist/songwriter with the release of his latest album, Electric (New West Records), and a full slate of shows worldwide, including recent dates on the road with Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell. Thompson was nominated for "Artist of the Year" at the 2013 Americana Music Awards and received universal praise for Electric, which was produced by esteemed musician/producer Buddy Miller, and declared his best work in years.
Thompson will perform solo acoustic with his son Teddy Thompson as a special guest on many of the dates but will add his band mates to play as The Electric Trio on Delbert McClinton's Sandy Beaches Cruise and the following dates in Florida.
The recipient of BBC's Lifetime Achievement Award, The Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement in Songwriting Award, and named by Rolling Stone as one of the Top 20 Guitarists of all time, Thompson is also one of the world's most celebrated songwriters. Robert Plant, REM, Elvis Costello, Los Lobos, David Byrne, Del McCoury, Bonnie Raitt and many others have recorded his work. Thompson continues to astound both as a guitar player and performer as NPR Music says "[Thompson is] a folksinger who doesn't sound out of place shredding like an arena-rock star...and still writes songs that sting and storm" with Rolling Stoneadding "...the excellence is undeniable."
