Linda Thompson - Won't Be Long Now
Rating: 5/5
Review:
An excellent album
This is a terrific album from a great survivor and performer. It is full of melodic songs which are beautifully arranged and performed. They are a mixture of the new and the re-worked old, every one of which is a real pleasure to listen to.
Linda Thompson really puts her heart into her singing, and the effect here is of real sincerity and beauty. She collaborates with a lot of her family, including, I am delighted to say, Richard Thompson who plays beautifully on the opening track which reminded me in places of the wonderful Dimming Of The Day.
This genuinely is a bit of real class from a very, very fine singer in collaboration with some excellent musicians. Very warmly recommended.
