"Be aware that this does not feature singer/ songwriter/ guitarist Richard Thompson. The Richard Thompson on this CD is a jazz pianist and a professor of music at San Diego State."
This is not Richard Thompson the great guitarist and songwri

"I didn't pay attention when Amazon sent me the recommendation that I'd like this album because I'd bought other items by Richard Thompson. Apparently there are more than one RT. The one who did this album is okay, but he's not the fellow who brought you Down Where the Drunkards Roll, I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight, and 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. I saw RT at JazzFest in New Orleans in May, and stood a few yards from him during his acoustic solo set. The guy on the inside cover art ain't him. This is a jazzy spiritual album and I can't knock it, it's just not what I was expecting."
