The debut album from Richard and Linda started a career that has placed Thompson in the `forever to be a huge cult figure` bracket. They did everything on this album, bar make the charts and sell records. Folk, rock, country and pop are brilliantly covered in a tasteful and controlled package that is a delight from beginning to end, with Linda singing beautifully. Concert favourites such as `The Calvary Cross` and `When I Get To The Border` are to be found here. It is not flippant to say that Richard Thompson is a world class songwriter and guitarist, albeit totally under-appreciated.
