Happy 70th birthday today to Richard Thompson who was born on 4/3/49. Thompson made his début as a recording artist as a member of Fairport Convention in September 1967 and has since become one of the most prolific and respected singer-songwriters in the last six decades. Thompson’s 2018 album 13 Rivers, proves to be his strongest work in years, as the lifelong troubadour continues to excel at the songwriting game. Watch Thompson perform as part of the NPR Tiny Desk concert..
