More Guitar is a live album by Richard Thompson recorded in November, 1988. Thompson, performing with his band, was recorded at The Bayou, a music venue in Washington, D.C.
As the album's title suggests, Henry Kaiser's track selection for More Guitar places emphasis on Thompson's electric guitar soloing – though it stands by itself as a complete performance, and accordion player John Kirkpatrick is given an extended solo on The Animals hit "We Got To Get Out Of This Place". Thompson's playing on this album is technically impressive and fluent (even by the standards of a man long hailed as one of rock music's most talented and novel players), harmonically sophisticated and shows his wide stylistic range and influences – from British folk forms on "The Angels Took My Racehorse Away" to bebop on the opening "Don't Tempt Me".
The drummer for the performances, Kenny Aronoff, was filling in for Thompson's regular drummer at the time, Dave Mattacks. Mattacks was unable to play the gigs due to injury, according to a review of the show published by The Washington Post.[3] Aronoff was at the time the studio and touring drummer for John Cougar Mellencamp, though in the 1990s and afterward he worked with Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Elton John, The Rolling Stones and other musical acts.
