Description
You may have caught the bona fide son of folk rock royalty Richard and Linda on support duties with none other than Elton John but don't let the good manners, pretty melodies and folk legacy fool you. Teddy Thompson is a seething ball of malcontent brought up on a diet of classic country music, merging the writing skills of Dad with the vocal grace of Mum; not a bad start. Carefully avoiding a tacky Nashville twang, here are real songs of heartbreak; bitter lyrics and intricate pop. Introspective maybe but never dreary ... with echoes of U2, Springsteen and Jackson Browne, there's plenty of foot-stomping to go with the melodrama.
