\n Linda Thompson, who ranks among the finest singers of her generation, hardly sings a note on \u201cProxy Music,\u201d her first album in over a decade. Instead, Thompson makes herself heard through her songwriting.She\u2019s often remembered for music she made with Richard Thompson, including several classic albums before their marriage ended in 1982. Linda has since released the occasional solo album, each excellent, but her ability to sing has been affected for decades by the vocal condition spasmodic dysphonia.To sing a new batch of songs she has written, Thompson drafted proxies \u2013 hence the wonderful title. The talented cast of family and friends includes son Teddy Thompson, who produced the set; daughter Kami Thompson and son-in-law James Walbourne, who perform as the Rails; and Rufus and Martha Wainwright.The album, which will be released Friday, is filled with lively lyrics and humor (a fabulously glam spoof of Roxy Music on the cover is reason enough to buy the LP). Thompson\u2019s delightful language of love speaks of no-man\u2019s land and \u201cumpteen\u201d paramours.<\/p>\n
\u201cVicissitudes abound, life is ups and downs,\u201d goes a couplet in \u201cJohn Grant,\u201d sung by (of course) John Grant.<\/p>\n
The musical range is broad. Thompson\u2019s Scottish roots show on \u201cBonnie Lass,\u201d a ballad of lost love sung by the Proclaimers, while Grant explores the underappreciated genre of Icelandic-British-Americana with references to Reykjavik, London and the fictional town of Lake Woebegon.<\/p>\n
Eliza Carthy performs \u201cThat\u2019s the Way the Polka Goes\u201d as a West End fiddle tune. Rufus Wainwright expresses a comical wariness of happiness while sinking his formidable tenor into the cabaret lament \u201cDarling This Will Never Do.\u201dAmong Thompson\u2019s co-writers is ex-husband Richard on \u201cThree Shaky Ships,\u201d a beautiful ballad that would fit nicely on one of their 1970s albums. Instead, it\u2019s sung by the Unthanks. The tune\u2019s advice: Don\u2019t give your heart away.<\/p>\n
Richard Thompson, who recently released his own fine new album, also contributes instrumental support, as does their grandson, Zak Hobbs, and Walbourne, who is also the Pretenders\u2019 lead guitarist.Linda is among the background vocalists on one cut, and the collaborative spirit reaches a zenith on the hilarious finale, \u201cThose Damn Roches,\u201d a waltz celebrating the bonds of blood and song. Teddy handles lead vocals, and he and a large supporting chorus ask, \u201cWhen we are singing loud and strong, who can take us?\u201d It sounds just like Linda Thompson.___AP music reviews: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/music-reviews<\/p>\n
