Sweet Talker is a soundtrack album by Richard Thompson released in 1991. It is the soundtrack for the Australian film of the same name.
Thompson had worked with composer Peter Filleul on various other soundtrack projects, notably the TV shows The Life and Loves of a She-Devil and The Marksman. In 1990 film producer Taylor Hackford made the movie Sweet Talker which starred and was written by Bryan Brown. Hackford invited Thompson to submit some ideas for a soundtrack and then asked him to work with Filleul to produce a full soundtrack for the film.
The project was a difficult one, with work having to be revisited as Hackford edited and re-edited the film. At its conclusion, Thompson swore that he would never do another soundtrack.
The film was not a success. Thompson's score did little to enhance his reputation, although the instrumental "Persuasion" was subsequently re-written with lyrics by Tim Finn and has featured in Thompson's live shows over the years.
All songs written by Richard Thompson except where noted.
