Linda Thompson - Versatile Heart [8/14] *

Artist:

Thompson, Linda

UPC:

011661321724

Description:

Only Linda Thompson`s third solo album in 25 years since splitting with her former husband and musical partner Richard Thompson, VERSATILE HEART picks up almost exactly where 2002`s FASHIONABLY LATE left off. Like its predecessor, VERSATILE HEART showcases the talents of Richard and Linda`s son, singer-songwriter Teddy Thompson, who co-wrote and co-produced several songs, including the simple folky instrumental, "Stay Bright," that both opens and closes the album. Other guests include daughter Kamila Thompson (who contributes the slinky "Nice Cars"), Antony of Antony and the Johnsons (Thompson`s duet partner on a magical rendition of Rufus Wainwright`s "Beauty"), and violinist Eliza Carthy. Highlights include a moving cover of Tom Waits`s "The Day After Tomorrow," the sly rockabilly tune "Do Your Best For Rock and Roll," and a lovely take on the traditional ballad "Katy Cruel."
