Throughout Richard Thompson’s career, acoustic concerts have been among his fans most cherished experiences. So it’s hard not to notice that there’s something largely missing from his vast recordings catalog: solo acoustic versions of the classic songs that are the heart of those performances. Until now…Acoustic Classics, a collection of newly recorded timeless Richard Thompson songs, features 14 tracks culled from his 40 plus year music career. For the first time ever, acoustic versions of songs like “I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight” and “Dimming of the Day” mingle with cornerstone classics like “1952 Vincent Black Lightning” and “Beeswing” as well as other acoustically rendered gems. Tracks: I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight / Walking On A Wire / Wall Of Death / Down Where The Drunkards Roll / One Door Opens / Persuasion / 1952 Vincent Black Lightning / I Misunderstood / From Galway To Graceland / Valerie / Shoot Out The Lights / Beeswing / When The Spell Is Broken / Dimming Of The Day
