If I Were a Richman - A Tribute to the Music of Jonathan RichmanJonathan Richman‘s career as singer, songwriter, and all-around mischief-maker now spans more than 40 years. Like Lou Reed & the Velvet Underground before him, Richman has inspired countless music fans around the world to take off their headphones and strap on guitars. From his Velvet-inflected early days with the original Modern Lovers, through numerous iterations of the Lovers, to his latter-day solo career, Richman’s work has mixed an arresting sense of innocence with a deep sensitivity to human emotion.

Wampus celebrates the work of Jonathan Richman with If I Were a Richman: A Tribute to the Music of Jonathan Richman.
