Richard Thompson 13 Rivers Vinyl

Richard Thompson will release a brand-new studio album 13 Rivers on CD, vinyl and digital in September 2018 via Proper Records. This will be Thompson's first collection of new material since 2015's Still.

13 Rivers also marks Thompson's first self-produced record for over a decade and he feels this makes for an emotionally direct album that speaks from the heart with no filters. "This has been an intense year for myself and my family," says Thompson. "Getting older doesn't mean that life gets easier! There are surprises around every bend. I think this reflects in the immediacy of the stories, and the passion in the songs.

Sometimes I am speaking directly about events, at other times songs are an imaginative spin on what life throws at you.
