Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson
supported by 11 fans who also own “Bert At The BBC”
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit.

Trees (50th Anniversary Edition)
by Trees
supported by 9 fans who also own “Bert At The BBC”
Her voice, the style, the playing, this is 1970 folk rock of the highest order. Acoustic and electric, traditional and original songs, all a joy to listen to. They sound great on this reissue issue too.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson
supported by 8 fans who also own “Bert At The BBC”
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.
