 Today, the great British singer-songwriter and guitarist Richard Thompson. He has a new album, his first in five years. In 1967, he co-founded the band Fairport Convention. They created a new genre, a hybrid of traditional music of the British Isles and rock. He wasn't the lead singer, but he found his voice as a singer after leaving the band and performing with his then-wife Linda Thompson, after which he embarked on a solo career that's still going.
