Description: Best Products Best Prices Fast Shipping Trusted Seller Extraordinary Customer Service Quality Items Richard Thompson - Rumor And Sigh [SACD] (Hybrid SACD limited/numbered to 2000) Richard Thompson manages all of his usual superhuman feats on Rumor and Sigh. Rippled vibrant guitar lines that sound like theyre coming from four guitars? Check. Lyrics that expose the delicate quirks of human behavior in witty truthful manners? Here. Engaging vocals that arrive as if they are sung only to you the words doubling as whispered thoughts in your own head? Yep. But Rumor and Sigh goes further by featuring astute lively production and well-planned arrangements that turn the songs. It and the other 13 tracks takes on newfound radiance that showcases the brilliant range of Thompsons instrumentation and tone. You could plug in a guitar amplifier right next to you connect a Fender and strum. Yet you still wouldnt have the depth intimacy and detail afforded by this audiophile edition. Its that remarkable. So is the diversity of the albums sonic signatures and themes. Opener Read About Love provides an electric-start jolt its upbeat tempos shimmering accents and massive hooks framing Thompsons amusing story of an inexperienced introvert that applies pop-culture ideas of romance to the real thing. The master wordsmith finds similar ironies in the mischievous intent of I Feel So Good a Celtic-flavored tune whose uplifting emotions contrast with the characters out-of-control desires. Humor further wriggles in the jaunty Psycho Street and spirited Dont Sit on My Jimmy Shands an enduring tribute to the Scottish accordionist and the pursuit of collecting rare 78 records. The singer-songwriters knack for accentuating biting contrast - and for delving into darker regions where jealousy bitterness and self-deprecation reside - pervades Rumor and Sigh in the same manner his band shades his every move with narrative skill. Just listen to the faint keyboard cues on I Misunderstood or Jim Keltners crisp hi-hat cracks on You Dream Too Much. Of course everyone stands aside for the folk-leaning 1952 Vincent Black Lightning a solo tour de force of musicianship and lyricism that confirms Rumor and Sigh survives not only as one of the finest records of the 1990s - but one of the best platters of the last three decades. main Policies Shipping Policy Return Policy Cancellation Policy Payment Policy Feedback Our Policies SHIPPING * We offer FREE shipping on all orders! * We ship within Three business days of payment, usually sooner. * We use a selection of shipping services such as UPS, FedEx, USPS etc. * We only ship to the lower 48 states, no APO/FPO addresses or PO Boxes allowed. * Local pickups and combined shipping options are not provided at this time.
