Thompson financed the recording of this album himself and then licensed the finished album to various labels for distribution. On its release, ''Sweet Warrior'' entered Amazon.com's top 20 for music sales. ==Overview== The track "Dad's Gonna Kill Me" was given an advance release via Thompson's own web site and iTunes. The song was singled out for praise by critics 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Richard Thompson, Sweet Warrior )〕 and featured prominently in Thompson's live performances in early 2007. This song's lyrics make extensive use of U.S. military slang (the "Dad" of the title is GI slang for "Baghdad"), and convey the thoughts and feelings of an uneasy U.S. soldier stationed in Iraq.〔(Press release, March 14, 2007. )〕 It was subsequently used on the closing montage of the first episode of the third season of ''Sons of Anarchy''. This advance release also enjoyed airplay on several radio stations and attracted generally favourable comments from the press and advance publicity for the album. The album received very favourable reviews. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sweet Warrior」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
