Richard Thompson - Sweet Warrior

Literate rocker Richard Thompson's new album, SWEET WARRIOR, is a return to his classic electric sound, his first plugged-in album since 2003's THE OLD KIT BAG. Filled with 14 songs of stories of loss and betrayal, the album also contains one of Thompson's most overtly political songs to date, "Dad's Gonna Kill Me", told from the perspective of a nervous young soldier stationed in Baghdad (abbreviated as "Dad" in the song).
