Long been an admirer of Sonny Boy Nelson. Call this my homage.

Remedy Blues
(at a Sonny Boy Nelson strut)
Tell me baby, who your remedy?
Tell me baby, who your remedy?
You ain't got no remedy, come and take ahold of me -
Tell me babe, who get your mask and gloves?
Tell me, sweet honey, who get your mask and gloves?
Six feet too far - quarantined from the one I love -
Tell me baby, who you hunkerin down?
Tell me, baby, who you hunkerin down?
When that thing is goin around town -
Tell me darling, ain't it getting low?
Tell me darl, when I'm getting low -
Just my first day, thirteen more to go -
Tell me, baby, who your remedy?
Tell me, baby, who your remedy?
Got no remedy, darling take ahold of me -
Got up this morning, I read the morning news -
Got up this morning, read the morning news -
It said, "The Whole Round World Got Them Isolation Blues -"
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
