Title: A refreshing return to a sparser style
Review: Having been a Richard Thompson fanatic for about 2 decades, I had become dismayed in the past few years in his albums. The songwriting was always great, but was often buried beneath strange arrangements and tangents into odd styles. I think this all can be traced to Thompson's alliance with producer Mitch Froom.Well, Froom isn't at the helm on Mock Tudor and it shows. To me, this is the best RT album since "Across a Crowded Room". The songwriting is strong and the arrangements are uncluttered and powerful. As a sidebar, I am curious as to what is going on in his personal life, as he is more bitter than he has been since his split with Linda. Trouble in paradise?In summation, this is a winner that breaks, for me, a string of flawed almost rans.
