Deluxe Edition. CD2 features vocal/guitar demos to all 13 songs
Richard Thompson, one of the most distinguished guitarists and songwriters of our time, returns with Dream Attic, a collection of 13 brand-new songs recorded in front of live audiences during a February 2010 West Coast tour. By recording Dream Attic on stage, Thompson was able to capture the interaction between himself and his band members, who between them add acoustic guitar, mandolin, violin, sax, bass and drums into the mix. Throughout, listeners are treated not only to phenomenal musicianship, but also a typically diverse and strong set of new songs. (shoutfactory. com)
"At first listen, the 13 songs sound very 'live' (they will do - an audience was invited to appear at the recording session), especially the tongue-firmly-in-cheek synopsis of the financial markets, "The Money Shuffle", with others such as "Here Comes Geordie" and "Demons In Her Dancing Shoes" telling observational stories in his usual inimitable way."
