Randy Thompson

'Collected is there record of the week in Scotland. Here is there Review: "Randy plays rocking country music of the highest quality. Imagine someone who combines the best qualities of Joe Ely and Steve Earle (in his original country outlaw guise) and you’ve pretty much got the sound that Randy Thompson makes. Really good songs with a strong propensity to tell a tale, cracking tunes and a real verve in the performance that just snatches you up and carries you along for an exhilarating ride.. Time and again there’s a real drive and pace in the music that just feels like the tune’s been grabbed by the scruff of the neck and the band have run with it. When Randy Thompson’s voice comes in, it’s just right for the music, strong and authoritative but with an emotional strength as well that’s compelling. There are other bands making modern country music as satisfying as this – but there aren’t many…. guaranteed to put a smile on your face. There’s strength in every aspect of these songs and he has a way of making large statements with his music that gives it a larger-than-life, almost myth-making scale; personally, I can’t resist a bit of that and I certainly think fans of artists like Joe Ely and Steve Earle are going to love discovering Randy Thompson."
