Saturday music

A twofer today.  Two of the greatest guitarists around.  First, because I can't resist an opportunity to showcase one of the coolest living artists, Richard Thompson, here's a performance of "I'll Never Give It Up."  The studio version is on Sweet Warrior.  Then, someone you are less likely to know, but who has some of the best chops around:  Geoff Achison.  Another one called, "Never Give It Up."  The studio version of this track is from his album, Little Big Men.  Make of that what you will.  Just make sure you give Achison a listen.  This guy is amazing.  Absolutely amazing.  Technique-wise, he's beyond Thompson.  Heresy, I know, and as an overall musician, Thompson impresses me more, but as a straight-up guitarist, Achison is just other-worldly.
