Richard & Linda Thompson - Pour Down Like Silver - [Vinyl]

Richard and Linda�s 3rd studio album from 1975 is now available on 180gram vinyl with a Download Code.Released in 1975, �Pour Down Like Silver� also known as �The Sufi album� due to Richard�s recent conversion to Islam, is a more restrained and spartan album compared to its lusher sounding predecessors. �Hard Luck Stories� is probably the most musically upbeat song on the album and wouldn�t have sounded out of place on the previous two albums. The album contains some of Richard�s most beautiful songs including ��For Shame Of Doing Wrong��, ��Beat The Retreat�� and, particularly, ��Dimming Of The Day�� which segues into a beautiful solo guitar performance of Scots composer James Scott Skinner�s �Dargai� bringing the album to a fittingly contemplative conclusion.The album�s artwork is something of a departure from the previous 2 albums as it features photographs of Richard and Linda dressed in what Linda referred to as �the latest chic Sufi look�.On its release, the album was warmly received with Rolling Stone observing: �Pour Down Like Silver is the kind of album that makes listening to music worthwhile, a record of such rare beauty and scope that one honestly feels privileged to hear it.�Angus MacKinnon of the NME concluded that: �through its exploration of extreme disillusionment, �Pour Down Like Silver� remains a considerable and deeply moving achievement`.
