YouTube - Richard Thompson - Bright Lights Tonight - Videowest 81
Song of the week for me! I bought the LP last week and as lovely as it is, nothing touches this central song with its wintery glamour and Linda Thompson's luscious voice. What tips it over the edge of greatness is the spinechilling silver band offering backup, something I've never heard before and matched only by The Pale Saints' limited 7" of "A Thousand Stars Burst Open" covered by a colliery band. That was somthing else.

This cut isn't the original of course but flip, can that guy play?
