Maybe I need to expand my musical base, or maybe I've never been exposed... perosonally, if we are talking acoustic (which is my love) and you allow me rock/pop/folk --- I love the Indigo Girls, Nick Drake, Ani, Days of the New, oh, I really like a lot - you really should check out Drake though, very mellow, very beautiful, VERY DIFFICULT:)

Richard's stuff with Fairport Convention is very good also. Also Leo Kottke is incredible. And ol' James Taylor is a pretty good picker as well.

He just has "it", that intangible quality to his playing that makes you realize what a special player he is...

I've seen him live and he has a tendency to over-solo. But he's got a terrific sound. A little like Mark Knofler but with more fire. (BTW Chris- after seeing you recommend Mike Stern, I picked up his new CD "Play" last week. Very nice. Thanks for the tip.)

He is known for his diligent attitude toward practicing, and his incredible humility. He still plays most Mondays and Wednesdays in this tiny little dive in the West Village in NYC, because he needs a continual outlet to improve his playing and musicianship. If you're ever in NYC, check the 55 Bar on Christopher St. and see if he's playing. Otherwise, he usually makes it to the Regattabar or whatever the new jazz clubs are in Boston at least once a year...

No other performer that evening was introduced with such passion. Richard Thompson rules!! He heads my list of guitarists -- listen to him and you will forget your complete list of guitar "gods." Although I like Neil Young's songwriting more than Richard, I love Richard's playing. Check out his double CD, one side electric, the other acoustic -- just amazing.
