Guitarist Richard Thompson Brings Music, Stories To Atlanta

Richard Thompson, speaking with Denis O’Hayer on “Morning Edition”

Richard Thompson has been performing professionally and writing songs for nearly 50 years.  Starting with his work with the seminal British folk-rock band Fairport Convention, Thompson has assembled a long line of critically-acclaimed albums which feature his unique songwriting style. Rolling Stone ranked him as one of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time, and his albums regularly appear in best-of lists.

During a stop in Atlanta, where he performed an all-request show for three nights at the City Winery, Thompson stopped by the WABE studios, where he spoke with Denis O’Hayer on “Morning Edition.”
