Richard Thompson earned a Grammy nomination for this ambitious 1996 release, a double album split into electric (Voltage Enhanced) and acoustic (Nude) discs, all produced by Mitchell Froom. Thompson reprises two of the electric songs on the acoustic disc, contrasting his acoustic folk roots with his electric influences.

On the surface, you? me? us? appears to be a major statement from Richard Thompson. Spread out over two discs, the budget-priced album features 19 tracks, separated into an electric (“Voltage Enhanced”) disc and an acoustic (“Nude”) disc, which each runs around 40 minutes; “Razor Dance” and “Hide It Away” appear on both discs. Despite its appearance, you? me? us? isn’t one of Thompson’s major works. What sinks the album isn’t the songs — as always, Thompson has written a handful of gems — but Mitchell Froom’s production. Froom’s gauzy, pseudo-experimental approach masks the songs in an impenetrable haze, which neither Thompson’s guitar nor his voice can cut through. There is no texture to the album’s sound — it is mushy and colorless, which cuts away at the heart of Thompson’s direct, emotional songs. If the songs on you? me? us? were given the simple, direct production they deserve, it would have been a completely different, more compelling experience. As it stands, it’s a wildly uneven and unengaging listen, like the great majority of the Froom-produced Richard Thompson records. -AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
