Richard Thompson feels like the forefather of all the rock music that followed him. I know the story is more complex than that, but when you listen to a record like Amnesia, it sure does sound like, “Oh, this is where it all came from!” This record is overflowing with great session players like Mitchell Froom and Tony Levin and Jim Keltner. The songwriting is weird and wonderful and takes more left turns than you’d think possible.
