Rounder have put up another track from the forthcoming 'Fashionably Late', her first new album in 17 years.
http://www.mp3.com/Linda_Thompson 'All I See' includes Teddy Thompson on acoustic, Jerry Donahue on electric guitar, Dave Mattacks on drums with Teddy, Martha and Rufus Wainwright on backing vocals. According to Rounder's biography, "[Linda] remains obsessed with the deep British folk music that she and her circle reanimated with the electricity of rock and roll. Like all great folk singers - Sandy Denny in particular, Richard's partner in Fairport Convention in whose shadow she sometimes felt herself to stand - Linda Thompson has an ancient voice, wilting, wounded and wise. She sings with the conviction of an eyewitness of thieves, beggars, drunks, street urchins and circus freaks, spurned lovers and murdering swine, centuries-gone." >From what I've heard so far, this look like being a fantastic ablum - great to hear Richard and Linda together again (with their kids) on 'Dear Mary' - and particularly looking forward to hearing 'No Telling' with Kate Rusby on acoustic guitar and harmony vocals. All the best PaulC PS Not sure how long it will be up, but you should also be able to hear 'All I See' in the Across the Pond Music Net Station playlist for the next day or two - http://www.mp3.com/stations/acrossthepond [along with Cagno, of course!]
