Kami Thompson -- Gotta Hold On (acoustic) The Holy Moly Sessions
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Jana Chillieno Kami Thompson 's path to a music career seems like a natural one given where she comes from: Her parents are the British folk rock performers Richard and Linda Thompson, and her brother Teddy is also a musical artist. Yet for Kami, joining the family profession started out with hesitation. "I didn't think I'd be any good," she tells Spinner. "Yet [...]

Lost Voices: Holly Figueroa O'Reilly's Final Covers Album + bonus coverage from Mary Lou Lord, Feist, Linda Thompson, & more

Nov 18, 2011, 12:22am Cover Lay Down
One of the reasons I am so busy these days is that as a baritone, I am in high demand for local choirs and stage productions. It's not just that I'm loud: As a trained vocalist, a stage actor, and a teacher, I pride myself in my control of tone and pitch and projected volume - all the subtle ways I have learned to shape sound to maximum effect in a variety of venues. It's part of my identity: a nurtured talent, grown and trusted. When it is tired, I can feel [...]

Full Albums: Richard and Linda Thompson's 'I Want To See the Bright Lights Tonight'

Oct 14, 2011, 5:00pm Cover Me
Full Albums features covers of every track off a classic album. Got an idea for a future pick? Leave a note in the comments! Richard Thompson's solo debut, Henry the Human Fly, began with a song that contained the line, "Don't expect the words to ring too sweetly on the ear." This would become his songwriting credo, as he penned lyrics that were incisive, emotive, and not the least bit sentimental, bringing them home with an equally biting guitar. His wife Linda sang with a powerful clarity, her voice full of aching, mischief, mourning, celebration, or whatever else the song [...]

Brody Jenner and Avril Lavigne a good match, says mum

Feb 21, 2011, 12:51pm My News Booth
Brody Jenner and Avril Lavigne a good match, says mum Brody Jenner is well suited to Avril Lavigne, says his mum. The former Hills star, who is a step-brother to the Kardashian sisters, has been dating the Canadian singer from almost a year, and according to his mum Linda Thompson, they couldn't be happier. She told E! Online: "She's an amazing young woman and I feel really fortunate that she's in our lives." She added that a wedding could eventually be on the cards, even though Lavigne, 26, already has one divorce under her belt from Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley. "Not yet," Linda said when asked about a potential [...]

ABON 0145. 1974. RICHARD AND LINDA THOMPSON – HAS HE GOT A FRIEND FOR ME

Jan 26, 2011, 3:37am A Barrel Of Nails
Richard Thompson was born in London in 1949. But his father was Scottish and, as a teenager growing up in the 50s and early 60s, Richard was not only exposed to Rock'n'Roll, and then Rock, but also to his father's apparently extensive collection of traditional Scottish music and Jazz. Which helps to explain why, although Richard is often described as a Rock guitarist, his songs actually don't sound very 'Rock' at all when you listen closely. His love for unusual non-Blues-based tunings has a Jazz feel to it. The drone-like hums in his guitar-playing, and even in his [...]

Deluxe Shoot Out The Lights Coming From Rhino Handmade

Deluxe Shoot Out The Lights Coming From Rhino Handmade Rhino Handmade has announced plans to release a Deluxe Edition of Richard And Linda Thompson's legendary swan song, Shoot Out The Lights , with previously unreleased live performances from their "emotionally charged" final U.S. tour. "Emotionally charged" is actually quite the understatement here. The tour coincided with the ugly breakup of the Thompsons' romantic and artistic partnership. The set includes a 40 page book that details such fun anecdotes as the time Linda kicked Richard in the shins during a solo at a show in Providence. The live tracks were [...]

Kami Thompson - Bad Marriage (EP)

Aug 10, 2010, 10:54am Direct Current
Kami Thompson - Bad Marriage (EP) - Out Now (iTunes) - The good genes rule for London based singer/songwriter Thompson, daughter of Richard and Linda Thompson and brother of Teddy. Newly released 3-song EP -- the title perhaps a reference to her parents well-documented split, offers a sampling of some new recordings: a version of the '63 George Harrison/Beatles track "Don't Bother Me" as well as fine self-penned "Oh World" and "Nothing Worse". Never-released full length Love Lies , recorded a couple years ago, lies in limbo. [...]

Richard Thompson - Dream Attic

Jun 17, 2010, 11:06am Direct Current
Richard Thompson obviously didn't get the memo. You know, the one that says "as the reigning elder statesman of British folk/rock you can simply rest on your throne." As a founding member (at age eighteen) of Fairport Convention in 1967, Thompson was a catalyst in the transition of traditional Brit folk into the contemporary rock world. With former wife Linda, he crafted literate, beautiful songs of rare emotional fortitude on albums like 1982's Shoot Out the Lights . As a solo artist he's released nearly 20 albums of acoustic majesty and stinging, imaginative electric guitar playing. Rolling [...]

We Are Family: We Were Family Edition

Dec 12, 2009, 6:09pm Star Maker Machine
We Are Family: We Were Family Edition This week, we have had songs by brothers, sisters, and by parents and their children. But no one else has tackled married couples. Perhaps this has to do with a question: when should two (or more) people in a committed relationship of choice be considered a family? Surely, a same-sex couple, who can not legally marry, are no less a family than a heterosexual couple that can. And were Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer not a family because they never actually married? I wouldn't think so. Still, society has its opinion, and those would have been controversial choices. [...]

B-Sides in the Bins #49 – Doug Roberson's Yard Sale 7/11/09

Sep 28, 2009, 11:04pm Time to play b-sides
Doug Roberson of the Diplomats of Solid Sound posted a Facebook event for a yard sale he was having. He was moving across town in Iowa City and decided, like many of us would, that he had some things he didn't want to move so he decided to have a yard sale. Knowing that Doug is a record collector and having talked with him the night before when the band played Coctails and Company in Cedar Rapids about what he might have, I made the trip down. It was a drizzly day which was sort of concerning, but [...]

Fairport Convention Uber Alles

Oct 27, 2008, 5:15pm The Decibel Tolls
Fairport Convention Uber Alles With that autumnal chill now prominently in the air, I figured it would be appropriate to discuss my favorite fall-time electric folk collective. There's nothing better than Fairport Convention on the ghetto blaster as the soundtrack to a crisp, dry, cool autumn evening. Evidently, the band agrees as well. Look at all those dried up dead leaves in the old band photo above. Smokey the Bear would have had a shit-fit if he was there. I know I have a bad habit of going off-topic and chasing tangents, but it's worth mentioning [...]

Teddy Thompson EXCLUSIVE interview

Jul 18, 2008, 10:32am Band Weblogs
Teddy Thompson EXCLUSIVE interview Teddy Thompson has released his fourth studio album, 'A Piece Of What You Need' - which includes one my favorite songs released in 2008, "In My Arms" . I've been intrigued by Teddy Thompson, not only because of his talent, but because of his ability to capture a rustic and classic sound that has subtly eased into the realm of mainstream music. It's also good to see true musicianship is still alive and well in the 21st century. Sometimes it's difficult to see musical camaraderie amongst the commercialization [...]
