The revered British singer/songwriter Linda Thompson's latest project,
the aptly named 'Proxy Music' features artists handpicked by Linda and
her son (and album co-producer) Teddy Thompson, to record a new set of
her tunes by "proxy"
Thompson, who Rolling Stone hailed as having "one of rock and roll's fnest
voices," has limited singing capabilities now due to a rare vocal condition. 'Proxy
Music' , however, impressively showcases her songwriting range and prowess.
Tracks like "Darling This Will Never Do," and "Mudlark" hold a timeless quality,
while "Those Damn Roches" and "John Grant" (sung by John Grant himself) boast
very modern sensibilities. 'Proxy Music' contains performances from Linda's longtime friends and admirers as Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Eliza Carthy,
The Proclaimers, Dori Freeman, and Grant, along with many talented Thompsons,
including her children Teddy and Kami, and her ex-husband Richard Thompson
playing guitar on several tracks. "Music in my family," Thompson shares. "It's like
glue. It binds us."
Tracks: The Solitary Traveller ft. Kami Thompson / Or Nothing At All ft.
