{"product_id":"the-old-kit-bag","title":"The Old Kit Bag - 3756","description":"Amazon.com\n\nAfter a string of slick albums that de-emphasized his folk-rock past, The Old Kit Bag marks a return to Thompson's indie-label roots. Produced by John Chelew (John Hiatt, Blind Boys of Alabama), it was recorded quickly with a minimum of overdubs and just a handful of musicians (double-bassist Danny Thompson, drummer Michael Jerome, and background vocalist Judith Owen). Fortunately, this spare approach serves Thompson well because he's such a strong and varied songwriter plus a remarkably distinctive guitarist. Longtime fans will likely gravitate to the musical equivalents of comfort food--the weepy ballad \"Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne,\" the revved-up rocker \"I'll Tag Along,\" and the brooding melancholy of \"First Breath.\" Yet subsequent listens reveal the subtler charms of a gorgeous jazz-pop ballad, \"I've Got No Right to Have It All,\" and the righteous anger of \"Outside of the Inside,\" on which Thompson, a devout Muslim, attacks the moral emptiness of religious fanaticism. Thirty-five years after his debut with Fairport Convention, Thompson proves that he's yet to exhaust his store of ideas or his will to challenge himself and others. --Keith Moerer\n\nProduct Description\n\nThompson is one of the master musicians \u0026amp; storytellers of the 60s British rock scene.
