Richard Thompson - Red Wine Promises - Non-Album Acoustic Tracks (2002-2003)

I've been posting two kinds of stray tracks albums for Richard Thompson: songs done with a band, and songs done in the solo acoustic format. Here's another album with him in the solo acoustic format.

Six out of 12 songs here have been officially released. But I don't think you'll be able to tell the difference, because most of the unreleased ones come from in-studio radio station appearances, usually with no audience noise.

The time period of this album coincides with when Thompson started to do a lot of concerts with the "1000 Years of Popular Music" theme. That'll be the focus of my next album I post from him. But suffice to say that explains why he started doing covers of songs like "You'll Never Walk Alone," "Shenandoah" and even "Oops... I Did It Again" by Britney Spears. But note that none of these versions are actually from any of those "1000 Years" shows. It seems he liked some of the songs enough to play them elsewhere.

This album is 40 minutes long.
