He may have now turned 60 and curated his Meltdown earlier this summer, but Richard Thompson shows no signs of stagnating creatively. Dream Attic is Thompson's third live album, but it's a live album with a difference - all the songs performed here are brand new.

PopMatters

Consider this: In 1999, Richard Thompson released Mock Tudor, which is one of his two or three best albums, if not just the best. That’s 32 years into his recording career. Imagine if Paul McCartney had released Flaming Pie and it was as good as or better than Revolver. While we’re at it, imagine that everything he’d released in the interim was nearly as good, too. That’s the level of talent at work here.
