For years, Richard Thompson resided in relative obscurity, while at the same time garnering 

vast critical praise for his magnificent guitar work and the dark wit and richness

 of his extraordinary songwriting. A founding member of the seminal British folk-rock group 

Fairport Convention, he remained with the band for five studio albums. 

In early 1971, Thompson, feeling that the material he had been writing at the time 

was not right for the band, decided to leave for a solo career. In between sessions 

and dates supporting former Fairport mates Sandy Denny and Ian Matthews, 

he entered the studio to record his first record, Henry the Human Fly (1972), 

which was a more idiosyncratic version of the British traditional rock & roll mix 

that he had begun with his old band

"HENRY THE HUMAN FLY"

At the time of its release, Henry the Human Fly, with its fresh, yet eccentric take on folk and rock, 

along with tales of "poor ditching boys," racehorses, tinkers, "painted ladies," and weddings where "nobody's wed" 

was not a fashionable record, but like the bulk of Richard Thompson's work, it transcends times and trends.
