On Richard Thompson’s thirteenth solo album he returns to familiar subjects of war, political violence and infidelity. “Dad’s Gonna Kill Me” references military slang for the city of Baghdad, while “Johnny’s Far Away” uses a cruise-ship musician and his wife back home for a darkly comic tale of mutual infidelity, and “Guns Are the Tongues” portrays a young man drawn into a politically violent group led by a woman. Thompson’s acerbic insight and eye for the sharp detail continue to serve him well here.
