Richard Thompson's new boxed set (RT - The Life and Music of Richard Thompson) offers an abundance of his East-meets-West, Coltrane-meets-Django guitar work. He mixes droll humor with the grim reaper, covers Britney Spears and spoofs Janet Jackson, plays storyteller and rock idol, waxes nostalgic for the '40s and then cranks the volume to 11, bouncing all the while from jigs and polkas to country, the blues and music beyond category. On five CDs, it's a lot to absorb, and fun to try.
