I finish off the ACL previews with the original Monster of Folk. 7pm gives us the National and Norah Jones as well as Richard Thompson. The National is great but I've never seen Richard Thompson and who knows if I'll ever have a chance again. Originally recognized for his incredible guitar playing, he is now more well known as a great songwriter. Probably half the acts at ACL have covered his songs. My favorite cover is REMs "Wall of Death", which I'm sure he'll play. He's known for his folk but I'm going to share one of his rock songs. Next week I may do a summary or a run-down of other acts. One week away!
