Reviews
"The set makes a good case that he is the best guitar player in the world....but it makes an even better case for his songwriting.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "A true bonanza....Wit, pathos, humility and chops enough to sway Jimmy Page. Thompson had -- and still has -- it all.", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Thompson's guitar firepower and parched wit are everywhere here....Loving archaeology, in every detail.", "Thompson is a thoughtful man with rare insights into the human condition who, as it happens, is a pretty fair musician and songwriter, too.", "He has inhabited a dizzying number of personas...visionary hurdy-gurdy man, molten-hot electric-guitar hero, restless musical explorer, spiritual searcher, comedian." -- Grade: A, 3 stars out of 5 -- "Thompson is an exceptional guitar player, a fine songwriter, and a decent singer. Listening to RT's five discs, you get the sense that the guitar is his true voice."
