Richard Thompson is a great songwriter. Little known in the US unfortunately.

He’s a distinctive and original guitarist too.
There were some British folk guitarists who are largely forgotten now (Davy Graham, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Martin Carthy, etc), but they were an influence on the folk-rockers like Richard Thompson. Jimmy Page’s folky side came from the same source. Paul Simon lifted a couple of numbers wholesale from these guys when he heard them in London. Scarborough Fair is a Martin Carthy song, really.
Those were Thompson’s beginnings, but he ended up with an electric style that wasn’t quite folk, but wasn’t quite anything else either.

Some tunes just sound better, louder. 
Giving my ears 'some grief' whilst eating my lunch.
I generally dislike cover versions; but like all rules, there are exceptions:
Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.
