'Still' was recorded in a two-story rehearsal loft in Chicago over the course of just nine days with
Wilco's Jeff Tweedy at the helm, backed by several longtime players from both Thompson's and
Tweedy's bands. Thompson enlisted Tweedy's production skills in an effort to shake up his own
creative approach to making records. "It turned out be really good idea," says Thompson. "Jeff is
musically very sympathetic. Although some of his contributions are probably rather subtle to the
listener's ear, they were really interesting and his suggestions were always very pertinent."
The key to ‘Still’'s emotional resonance is a set of gripping new Thompson compositions rich with
his signature mix of trenchant insight, gallows humour, and keen empathy for characters at the
brink of being overcome by their emotions, their pasts, or themselves.
A recipient of BBC's Lifetime Achievement Award and Mojo's Les Paul Award, Richard Thompson
was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2011 New Year Honours List. The
Americana Music Association also recently honoured him with a Lifetime Achievement Award for
Songwriting. Robert Plant, REM, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt and many others have recorded
Thompson's songs.
