Richard Thompson with Zara Phillips - Folk on Foot - Home Concert, Montclair, NJ, 5-25-2020

I've posted a couple of Richard Thompson 2020 home concerts. He did another one in early July that's especially nice. But before I post that one, I want to post this earlier one.

I hesitated to post it, because the actual concert for the ("Folk on Foot" festival) was rather short, at only 24 minutes. But I've managed to find a few more songs he did here and there around the same time, increasing the length to 32 minutes (if you don't count the bonus track). That's still pretty short, but enough to post as an album.

In terms of song selection, most of these are fairly obscure choices from his extensive catalog. I believe only three of them ("Keep Your Distance," "If I Could Live My Life Again," and "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight") are repeats from the other three 2020 home concerts of his that I've posted already. And no more songs are repeats from the early July 2020 show mentioned above that I'll be posting soon.

The sound quality is very good in general. The only exception is the bonus track, "Jack O' Diamonds." That is one of the extras, generally done for various benefit concerts or Internet shows. Unfortunately, "Jack O' Diamonds" was badly recorded, with the vocals way down low and way too much reverb.
