Richard Thompson cover songs




Richard Thompson is himself a great performer of cover songs, doing Buck Owens ("Together again"), The Who ("Substitute") and Britney Spears ("Oops!"), and a whole lot of people cover his songs. On BeesWeb you find severeal pages of them. Three whole albums (or are there more?) are dedicated to songs by Mr. Thompson:
Dave Burland: "His masters voice" (1992)
(Richard Thompson plays).
"The world is a wonderful place" (Hokey Pokey, 1993)
(a.o. Ivor Cutler, Peter Blegvad and Victoria Williams).
"Beat the retreat" (1994)
(a.o. David Byrne, Bob Mould, L. Wainwright, Graham Parker).
