Richard Thompson, the british singer, songwriter guitarist who has been writing and recording music since the sixties, is about to launch a summer concert tour and has a new album out.
It's called Shipped Ashore, and it's his first studio album in five years, the longest stretch between records since he co founded Fairport Convention in 1967 when he was 18 years old.
Five years later, he became a recording duo with his wife Linda Thompson, then went solo in 1983.
Here's a taste of what's left to lose, a new song from ship to shore.
Goodbye for goodbye cruel meeting you left me for dead with my heart still beating what do I do to kill the egg?
How many drops of comfort do I take?
What's left to lose?
Everything I cared about is gone was left to lose.
When there's nothing, how do I carry me on?
You left my life when you shut the door.
