Richard Thompson, a quiet music great, pens revelatory memoir: 'It was necessary to write about the hooker'


Fans of Richard Thompson — whose admirers range from Bonnie Raitt and Bob Dylan to the members of Los Lobos and Dinosaur Jr. — know he has long been critically acclaimed as one of the finest and most distinctive guitarists and singer-songwriters on either side of the Atlantic.
They also know he helped create English folk-rock in the 1960s as a member of Fairport Convention, a pioneering London band with which Jimi Hendrix liked to sit in and jam. And fans know Thompson has been a prolific solo artist for nearly 50 years, during which time his songs have been recorded by everyone from R.E.M., Johnny Cash and The Pointer Sisters to The Neville Brothers, Tom Jones and bluegrass king Del McCoury.

Beeswing by Richard Thompson review – beyond Fairport Convention


His account begins gently but blossoms into a gripping reflections on early tragedy, his conversion to Sufism, and a first marriage whose dramas were played out on stage. He is not the first to describe the progression from skiffle and folk music to rudimentary beat groups made up of schoolfriends and onwards to rock’n’roll – and, in his case, to a particularly significant variant of the basic form. But he does so with a fond and precise recall of such details as witnessing “the arrival of a new culture” at the 14 Hour Technicolour Dream at Alexandra Palace, where he sees John Lennon “wandering around, looking every inch an impersonation of himself, with his moustache, NHS spectacles and Afghan jacket”.

Guitar great Richard Thompson talks Fairport Convention and his folk-rock beginnings with 'Beeswing' memoir | Entertainment


Richard Thompson’s combination of skills as a songwriter and guitarist is unmatched.
The musician’s career — from his rise with British folk-rock inventors Fairport Convention to his 1970s partnership with his wife Linda Thompson to three decades as a solo artist — stretches over 50 years.
But Thompson’s new memoir, which was written with Scott Timberg, zeroes in on only the first eight. It’s called "Beeswing: Losing My Way and Finding My Voice, 1967-1975," taking its title from one of Thompson’s most beautiful songs, the gossamer “Beeswing,” which is on his 1994 solo album "Mirror Blue" but evokes the earlier era.
