Richard Thompson Covered (Various Artists)

This one's been on the back burner a while, but with RT coming to town next month I decided to get it out there. If you like this sort of thing, I hope you like it.

As always, a big thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, and especially the performers and composer. Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). If you've got something good that deserves consideration for future volumes, PM me.

Finally, if anyone out there with an artistic bent wants to make some covers, it will be most appreciated.
