I'm worn out from buying music online.
I now have Richard Thompson's latest CD, Electric:
It was released TODAY! I haven't heard all the tracks yet, but what I've listened to so far is classic awesome Thompson guitar. And there are good lyrics in there, too. This review says the body count is lower that on most of his albums.
In my iTunes investigation I also found Suzanne Vega released four CDs I didn't know about. I downloaded those, too. She re-recorded many of her songs in a more acoustic, intimate way that suits both her and her work and organized them by theme.
I has me lots of new music. Lots and Lots.

Hey Kathy,
Didn't know you were a fellow Richard Thompson fan. I got hooked the first time I heard "Tear Stained Letter" on XRT back in 1982.
By recent count I've packed and moved that album ("Hand of Kindness") and all my others 18 times.
Thompson was also Elliot's first concert, although he was barely six months old at the time.
Feel better soon!
Thanks, Jeff. I went to work today. Sort of better.
I didn't discover Richard Thompson until about 3 years ago, through Steph. I suppose buying a CD the day it comes out makes me an official fan. ;-)
Next time our writing prompt involves lyrics, I'll pick a Thompson tune.
