Ebook About “Thompson is a master showman . . . [Beeswing is] everything you’d hope a Richard Thompson autobiography would be . . . It’s both major and minor, dirge and ditty, light on its feet but packing a punch.” —The Wall Street Journal An intimate look at the early years of one of the world’s most significant and influential guitarists and songwriters. In this moving and immersive memoir, Richard Thompson, international and longtime beloved music legend, recreates the spirit of the 1960s, where he found, and then lost, and then found his way again. Known for his brilliant songwriting, his extraordinary guitar playing, and his haunting voice, Thompson is considered one of the top twenty guitarists of all time, in the songwriting pantheon alongside Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Randy Newman. Now, in his long-awaited memoir, the British folk musician takes us back to the late 1960s, a period of great change and creativity—both for him and for the world at large. Thompson packed more than a lifetime of experiences into his late teens and twenties. During the pivotal years of 1967 to 1975, just as he was discovering his passion for music, he formed the band Fairport Convention with some schoolmates and helped establish the genre of British folk rock. That led to a heady period of songwriting and massive tours, where Thompson was on the road both in the UK and the US, and where he crossed paths with the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Jimi Hendrix. But those eight years were also marked by change, upheaval, and tragedy. Then, at the height of the band’s popularity, Thompson left to form a duo act with his wife Linda. And as he writes revealingly here, his discovery and ultimate embrace of Sufism dramatically reshaped his approach to music—and of course everything else. An honest, moving, and compelling memoir, Beeswing vividly captures the life of a remarkable artist during a period of creative intensity in a world on the cusp of change.Book Beeswing: Losing My Way and Finding My Voice 1967-1975 Review :
First - all fns of RT and/or Fairport Convention will want to read this book. That said, this is not a great book. It feels like a list of bands, musicians and gigs with two scenes when he writes from the heart, not 30,00 feet. the rest feels like a rush through memory lane. there is very little about his relationship with Linda. Fairport were music nerds (except perhaps for Sandy Denny) actually read books and loved to search for obscure British folk songs. No smuggling guns through airports, flying off to Europe to get new blood, getting arrested, going from rags to riches. More like going from rages to presentable clothes. The two sections involve a death and a pilgrimage. These are heartfelt and the latter is infused with humor. I wish the rest of the book was like this. MY RICHARD THOMPSON STORY:It was the 11th of February 2014 and I attended a Richard Thompson/Iain Matthews show held at The Center For The Arts in Grass Valley, Ca. After Iain's set and before Richard's I made my way to the merchandise table to look at Richard's and Iain's goods that were being sold there. I found a very beautiful lithograph that Richard had designed and drawn there. This piece of art was matted and framed and available at the bargain price of only $1,500.00. My dumb comment was: "Richard's a fine artist but I'd have to sell the family car to purchase this!" From behind me I heard a voice say: "Don't do that, he's not that good of an artist!" I looked behind me to see Richard ducking in the stage door on his way to start up his set." After I fainted, somebody threw water on me and I made my way back to my seat to enjoy and amazing show from this wonderful lithographer." It was an amazing night in Grass Valley.BEESWING:Early in 2020 the social media was announcing Richard Thompson would be releasing a book of the early years of his life in the spring of 2021. There is already a biography by Patrick Humphries entitled "Strange Affair" published in 1996 but I always wanted to hear the story as told as only Richard can as the star of this story. The good news to report is that the early days are covered in great detail up 1980 when Richard's marriage to Linda was in dire straits and doom and gloom was again knocking at Richard's door.At just under 300 pages this book still feels brief and (was it an editorial move?) The facts are here but the personal stories from Richard I was searching for that feature that amazing Thompson dry-humor and wit are not a part of this volume. In Dave Pegg's recently published autobiography we get so many of his great stories and as a reader of this book by RT we remain on the outside looking in. Richard is an artist I have seen and listened to onstage many times and he tells jokes and recites some entertaining stories. This is no longer the shy young teenager he was back in 1968 playing stunning lead guitar runs with his eyes shut. Today RT gives the fans a concert and it is a well-rounded event that will knock you flat!Fairport Convention was onstage in London when Joe Boyd listened to Richard pull off an fantastic solo on "East/West." The tune from The Butterfield Blues Band was a stunner for Boyd when he heard Richard play. In the words of the witness himself: "Fairport was good but I knew straight away that Richard was SPECIAL and I really wanted to make a record with this group." Most everybody else that has heard Richard play can agree that this man is indeed the goods.Again, I kinda think that if the editors had given Richard some more pages here to tell his stories of these crazy late sixties and early seventies adventures it would have made for more magic to be found on these pages. As it stands "Beeswing" is a fine book but I was wishing for a whole lot more I suppose. I hope there are (at least) two more books to document the next four plus decades of Richard Thompson's life. If you are a fan of RT you should really enjoy this book and another place to take-a-peek is the "Fairport by Fairport" book from the UK That has many of Richard's recollections along side the rest of the Fairport Convention members. There's a lot more of this story that can be explored if you search it out. It was a sign for me to read this book when I heard of the title. "Beeswing" is my all-time favorite Richard Thompson song.Four Stars!
