Album Description
Available in:
"Henry the Human Fly" was the first solo album by British singer/songwriter/guitarist Richard Thompson. It was originally released in Britain in April 1972 on the Island label and in the US on the Reprise label. Thompson wasn't long out of Fairport Convention when he made this and the songs retain the folky feyness of his Fairport work. Several have direct links to the popular music of the past, which became what we call folk music nowadays - New St George is an example of that. There are some wonderful musicians in the band, including Linda Peters, the future Mrs Thompson, on backing vocals. The album was Thompson's attempt to create an English rock 'n roll hybrid. It was poorly received at the time, but is currently considered one of his best albums.
