Richard Thompson - Breaking Down the Walls - Non-Album Tracks (2003-2012)

Here's the next in a long line of Richard Thompson stray tracks albums. For his music career, because he plays in acoustic mode so often, I've posted two kinds of stray tracks albums: one of full band tracks, and one of acoustic tracks. This is the full band kind.

Note that this album deals with a unusually long time period, nine years. By contrast, I have some acoustic collections from around these same years that often deal with only a couple of years each. I figure that's because it's very easy for him to perform a new song, such as a cover, if it's just him playing alone. But it takes a lot more effort to get a full band to learn a song.

This album can be divided into two parts. The first four songs are a grab bag from different sources, recorded from 2003 to 2007. They're all officially released, and come from movie soundtracks and various artists compilation albums. 

The rest of the songs all come from the 2012 Thompson studio album "Cabaret of Souls." This album has no less than 30 songs on it, all written by Thompson, but I've only selected five. That's because it's an unusual album, with many song actually narrative links, others instrumentals, and other songs sung by other people. I'm not a fan of most of those. I've boiled things down to just full songs that are sung by Thompson.

This album is 42 minutes long.
