Linda Thompson is today sharing new single ‘Those Damn Roches’ featuring Teddy Thompson. It is the latest new music to be taken from her forthcoming album Proxy Music (out June 21st) and follows previous album cuts ‘The Solitary Traveller’ featuring Kami Thompson and ‘Darling This Will Never Do’ featuring Rufus Wainwright.
‘Those Damn Roches’ (with Teddy Thompson on lead vocals plus a coterie of backing vocalists) majestically presents a richly evocative, highly personal portrait of folk music familial dynasties: the Roches, Wainwrights, McGarrigles, Watersons, Carthys, Coppers, and, of course, the Thompsons.
Speaking about the single, Linda says: “I stand by this statement! Those women are catchy. I do so love all the musical families and this is supposed to be a paean of praise.”
Proxy Music will be brought to life at a very special live show at Cadogan Hall on July 19th. The likes of Eliza Carthy, John Grant, Ren Harvieu, Zak Hobbs and Teddy Thompson are all set to perform. Linda will be in attendance but will not perform. Tickets are on sale here.
