Album Notes & Community Reviews
Reverting to a full electric band format after several acoustic outings, 'Sweet Warrior' highlights the veteran guitarist's intricate fingerpicking and biting lyrical cynicism. The record tackles themes of conflict and betrayal, propelled by tight rhythm sections and Thompson's signature Stratocaster tone.
