There's a Bob Mould compilation for the mid 90's with an excellent live take on Shoot Out the Lights..
You're right....it's called Poison Years and it fills in the classic solo years between his time in Husker Du and Sugar |

 I love it... Just checked the album, and was surprised to see Glen Tilbrook included in the (extensive) personnel listing... |

I like the 1000 years of music. I got the limited edition that has a dvd and 2 cds of the bimbos sf show. (I should have gone, but went somewhere else that night...DOH!) One thing I like is the tiny guitar bit in oops I did it again that sounds medieval. But the disk is great.
My favorite RT solo song has got to be Vincent Black Lightening.

I couldn't get anyone to listen to RT until they'd heard that Bob Mould and had REM covered them.  And then one night at Cropredy there were tears at about the time James Avery died. "Oh my goodness - I never expected that" she said. If in doubt, buy the new album. It'll be like most of the others in that there'll be a cracking opener, the third track will be brilliant, and the last track on the album will be odd, but engaging. |

I didn't know about the tribute album, so i shall have to go and investigate it. I've been trying to pick a favourite RT song over the last wee while and i just can't do it. I find that i keep going back to Persuasion with Teddy Thompson, but it's certainly not my fave.  |

Has anyone mentioned The World Is a Wonderful Place? It's a "tribute" compilation, with a hidden track from Richard and Linda. The Plainsong version of Galway to Graceland is exquisite, and Chris Collister's ow Will I Ever be Simple Again are wonderful. As is Ivor Cutler's Wheely Down in its own way. 1993, Hokey Pokey Records.

Hard Cash is a very special album.
Not strictly a RT album in the true sense, but one of his collaborations with former Climax keyboard player Peter Filleul, comprising of a whole host of fine performances from Martin Carthy, June Tabor, Gregson and Collister and many others. RT performs on almost all the tracks, and contributes "Time to ring some changes" as a solo offering.
The Album came out as part of a BBC project studying the darker side of Labour History in Britain. I think that the series was canned before it was aired, so the album was a bit of an oddity in that respect. If the series has aired, then it would probably be the soundtrack.
Every song tells a unique story.
The last track "Good with my hands", sung by Christine Collister, is one of the most emotive pieces of music I've ever heard.
It is probably still available. Thankfully, it has had sporadic re-releases over the years.

Or you can wait 4-6 weeks for the Green Linnet copy - same album, different cover. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hard-Cash-Various-Artists/dp/B000005CSK/ref=sr_1_11/203-4554029-4434300?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1191198316&sr=1-11There is a good review on Amazon though...... The thing with the songs is that they show all sides. The employers as well as the employees. And Michael Marras "The Guernsey Kitchen Porter" is about someone who has tried to vanish, and doesn't really want to be found..... RT offers another solo piece - "Oh I Swear", written specially for the project. It's well worth getting. |

I suspect 4-6 weeks is a 'unlikely to obtain it, but we'll look around for you'
However, there are used copies on that link from under £8

Um..unfortunately Green Linnet records was swallowed up by Compass Records last year. They were down to a handful of releases a year by the time of their demise, unlike their heyday not too many years before. Compass is a great company (yeay Alison Brown), but I have not heard what the status of Green Linnet's massive back catalog will be.
