 Rating:  - Piece & LoveAlthough this is his fourth studio album, this is the first Teddy Thompson album I have purchased and, I have to say, that I am surprised by how good it is. Even though I'd been an admirer of his father for quite a while, there had just never been any real reason for me to check out Teddy - until I happened to chance upon a great live performance by Teddy's on British television, together with Martha Wainwright. As it turns out, although I'm sure that comparisons with his father probably wouldn't be welcomed by Teddy, he has certainly inherited his parents' musical talent and ability to write a finely crafted song with depth and flair. Thompson's voice is rich, aural honey, with an impressive range that soars when he hits the ... Read More: Rating: - Teddy Thompson is greatI had never heard of Teddy Thompson until I went to a James Blunt concert a couple of months ago, Teddy Thompson was the support band, I thought he was great, I bought his cd that day 2 and I was lucky enough to get it signed Rating: - best so far- maybe mainstream soon but hopefully notThis has managed to take TT's melancholic style and lyrics and wrap them up in a more layered and upbeat musical style. Definitely his best album so far! Seen him in concert and hopefully this will mean bigger venues and maybe he can lighten up a bit. Yes Teddy you are good so don't be so serious. Rating: - Wonderful stuffThis is a wonderful album, and one of my favourites of the year. I was vaguely aware of Teddy through the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack, and have enjoyed some of his mum and dad's work, the legendary folkies Richard and Linda Thompson. But when I heard 'In My Arms' on Jonathan Ross's R2 show, I was sold. And went out and bought everything of his I could find. Americana with an alt feel, beautiful love songs with wry, slightly subversive lyrics are his stock in trade but this album brings a new pop sensibility that the music wears extremely well. I later read an interview with Teddy where he was suggesting that his frustration with not breaking through to a wider audience was beginning to make him doubt ...

Its on the car CD, the PC and my ipod. Original twists on love ("In my arms" is just one example) life and the meaning of....whatever; no, seriously, its not that Thompson is a navelgazer anymore than Julian Dawson, Jackson Browne (with whom this album very favourably compares) or Teddy's daddy Richard, but he does write thoughtfully and his language is as mellifluous as his tunes. Too bad there's an unnecessary 10 minute gap until the hidden track "The Price of Love". After three okay albums, Teddy Thompson has demonstrated greatness as a singer/songwriter ... Read More: |
