About the artist

Linda Thompson

Linda Thompson is a true queen of folk music, with a career spanning over five decades and a voice that can melt even the coldest of hearts. She may not be a household name like Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez, but her influence on the genre is undeniable. Hailing from London, Thompson first made a name for herself as one half of the folk duo Richard and Linda Thompson in the 1970s. Her haunting, ethereal vocals paired perfectly with her then-husband's masterful guitar playing, creating some of the most iconic folk songs of the era. After the couple's split, Linda embarked on a solo career that showcased her exceptional songwriting talents and her ability to captivate audiences with just a single note. Her albums "Fashionably Late" and "Won't Be Long Now" received critical acclaim, with reviewers praising her raw emotion and poetic lyrics. But what truly sets Linda Thompson apart is her unwavering authenticity. She doesn't conform to trends or pander to commercial success; she simply lets her music speak for itself. And speak it does, touching the hearts of all who listen. In an industry that often values style over substance, Linda Thompson is a rare gem. She is unapologetically herself, and that's what makes her music so powerful. So, do yourself a favor and dive into the world of Linda Thompson – you won't regret it.
