471 - Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight - Avery Pearson
b'Hope can be hard to come by, faith sometimes falters, and love might be fleeting. But as the tender guitar tones and soulful harmonies found in the brighter tracks of Richard and Linda Thompson\'s 1974 folk rock masterpiece\\xa0I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight\\xa0suggest, all three of those qualities are an essential balance to the heartbreaking pain that life has to offer. Comedian, actor and musical savant Avery Pearson is no stranger to both joy and sadness. And it is his ability to accept both the good and the bad with an unceasing zest for living that makes him perhaps the most qualified of all to pick apart an album that, while having little success in its day, is nearly unmatched in its equal share of exuberant musicality and woeful lyricism. After all, it\'s Avery\'s boundless positivity that has drawn audiences to his performances in Showtime\\u2019s\\xa0Masters of Sex, USA\\u2019s\\xa0Suits, and on stage in his own monthly comedy showcase at the Hollywood Improv, \'The 88 Show with Avery Pearson.\'\\nThe 500 is a production of Native Creative Podcasts.\\nFor show notes, guest playlists, complimentary documentaries, and audiobooks about the music go to The500Podcast.com.\\nNew Artist/Song influenced by Richard and Linda Thompson:\\xa0\\nDavid Ramirez\\xa0"Watching From A Distance"\\xa0(Spotify)\\xa0(YouTube)\\nJoin.
