I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

2/5

I’m starting to get the feeling folk isn’t for me cause this was a slog I was excited after the first song thinking this will it then it developed into the same snooze fest. The live songs at the end were great though so I don’t know what’s going on with me and folk
