This week, Mark welcomes to the studio a true original: Richard Thompson. The great folk rock songwriter and musician - named as one of Rolling Stone magazine's top 20 guitarists of all time - will perform songs from his brand new album, Electric. Electric, a 'trio' album produced in Nashville by country legend Buddy Miller, was released in the UK on 11 February. In 1967, a teenage Richard helped form the UK's first electric folk band, Fairport Convention. A blistering, inventive guitar style and a gift for songwriting have marked his work ever since, both as a solo artist and in the duo he formed with former wife Linda Thompson during the 1970s and 80s.Richard joins Mark for this week's Radio 2 Folk Show. I have also included Karine Polwarts King of Birds (live) which was played on the show in the midst of the interview because I am a huge Karine fan. Total Play Time (18.08) 1.

Saving The Good Stuff For You (acoustic live) Session 2 Richard Thompson guests on Jools Hollands Radio Show 4th March 2013 Mainly interview but done in Jools Inimitable style so all sorts of areas are covered. Refreshing change from some of the interviews of late, namely Jo Whiley and The Staves a week or so ago which was so puerile as to be unbelievable.(it also put me off uploading it). Richard Thompson, being the character he is, responded wonderfully to Jools questions. Interview part 1 contains heavily faded/edited (a few seconds each) of song clips selected by Richard. Total Play Time (18.42) 1. Interview Part 1 (13.27) 2. Slow Down (live performance from Richard with Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra) (3.21) 3. Interview Part 2 (1.54)
