Richard Thompson: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning

There are many powerful songs about motorcycles, but this acoustic one, "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" by Richard Thompson, has more power than any heavy metal tune about choppers.



It appears that Thompson is performing this song in a hotel room. He's a throwback to the era of itinerant traveling magicians.
