Richard Thompsonâs combination of skills as a songwriter and guitarist is unmatched.
The musicianâs career â 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 â stretches over 50 years.
But Thompsonâs new memoir, which was written with Scott Timberg, zeroes in on only the first eight. Itâs called Beeswing: Losing My Way and Finding My Voice, 1967-1975, taking its title from one of Thompsonâs most beautiful songs, the gossamer âBeeswing,â which is on his 1994 solo album Mirror Blue but evokes the earlier era.
