Something like that was my second vehicle for awhile. Rode it year-round. Wasn't easy finding snow tires for it though.

You only needed snow tires because it was "something like that", which is not that Vincent.

I thought Del McCoury wrote that, but Thompson did. There are some great covers out there.

Everyone covered Thompson's songs, as he is England's 'slow hand'.

this song just (18 minutes ago) came up in my Discover Weekly playlist on spotify (a weekly 30 ish song playlist that they think you'll like based on what you've listened to) I had not listened to this song on Spotify. I wonder if they share info with youtube... or is this just a coincidence? The version is by Richard Thompson from the Rumor and Sigh album.

I first was attracted the Thompson when I heard a song called "Shoot Out The Lights", about the time my divorce was turning nasty. Turns out it was from an album of the same name and the last album he and Linda made together. She was beautiful, talented, sang like an angel, but suffered crippling stage fright, even after several hit albums/tours.

Like Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours", it was produced during the turmoil of the breakup, and the tension comes through.
The songs and their order on the album are a clue.
1."Don't Renege on Our Love"
2."Walking on a Wire"
3."Man in Need"
4."Just the Motion"
5."Shoot Out the Lights"
6."Back Street Slide"
7."Did She Jump or Was She Pushed?"
8."Wall of Death

That album spurred me to buy over a dozen of his albums.
Bookmark this post as an good example of thread drift.

I love Thompson. 'Gypsy Love Songs' and 'Waltzing's for Dreamers' are two of my favourites of his songs.That whole album really got under my skin though I didn't get into it when it was released. I think it was around 1995 when I discovered it. I'd heard of Thompson before that but didn't know his work particularly.

Back to stupid...

Man tries to put out garbage fire by driving over it in a van loaded with ammunition
A Clay County sheriff’s deputy retreated to a safe distance from a van burning in a field Tuesday afternoon after he heard the sound of live ammunition going off inside it. The deputy found the van burning near Old State Highway 210 and Bluff Road, south of Liberty, about 2:30 p.m., said Jon Bazzano, a spokesman for the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. The deputy had been in the middle of a traffic stop when he saw black smoke on the horizon and headed that way to investigate.

Eventually, the deputy found the owner of the vehicle watching the fire from a distance. The deputy learned that the owner had been burning garbage in the field and accidentally let the fire get out of control. In an attempt to put the fire out, he drove his van back and forth over the flames.

This made matters worse, as the tires of the van caught fire. Realizing that the van was loaded with firearms ammunition and a full tank of gas, the driver evacuated the area for safety.
