Richard Thompson released "Beatnik Walking" on May 26, 2015, and the name in the producer's chair is the story: Jeff Tweedy recorded and produced it, mixed it with Tom Schick, and got his own hands on the instruments too, adding guitar alongside Thompson's, plus Mellotron and a Marxophone, which is not a sound you meet every day.
Thompson wrote it alone and sings it, Taras Prodaniuk plays bass, Michael Jerome drums, and Sima Cunningham adds background vocals, with Mark Greenberg assisting on the engineering. It's a lean crew, which leaves plenty of room for Thompson's voice and guitar.
