	Linda Thompson - Fashionably Late
		Thompson's unalloyed passion for "hardcore" folk (her word) yields a chilling re-invention of the "faux" Scottish murder ballad "Nine Stone Rig", to which she added several verses; the murder and its aftermath are recounted with stark, journalistic precision.
		Linda Pettifer was born in London in 1948 to an ex-variety girl who called herself Vera Love, daughter of a vaudevillian.
		Linda was 6 when the family moved to a nice neighborhood in the notoriously rough city of Glasgow - her mother's hometown - where her father opened a TV repair shop.

	George Graham Reviews Linda Thompson's "Fashinably Late"
		Linda Thompson remarried, and eventally released a couple of solo albums.But what had become a performance anxiety eventually overwhelmed Linda Thompson, leading to what is clinically called hysterical dysphonia, which left her literally unable to sing, or even speak at times.
		Thompson had been away from the music scene, she was by no means forgotten, and Fashionably Late is filled with two generations of English folk artists, from Danny Thompson of the Pentangle and Dave Mattacks from Fairport Convention, to acclaimed young singer Kate Rusby, and her own now-rising son, Teddy Thompson.
		Thompson and her son Teddy, nicely performed in an intimate setting that nevertheless boasts some impressive guests, Van Dyke Parks on the accordion, Richard Greene, formerly of the 60s band Seatrain on violin, Kate Rusby on backing vocals, and John Doyle, formerly of the acclaimed Celtic band Solas on the guitar.

	Outer Sound: In Review: Linda Thompson
		And by and large, Linda Thompson, who is best known for her work with guitar deity and then-husband Richard Thompson.
		Thompson's work contains none of the vocal acrobatics so common among today's singing divas; what she can do with her voice is not the point.
		Sad because both Linda and Richard tended to write in bleak or muted moments; sad because there will never be more work from the otherworldly voice at the center of each track.

	Reviews of Linda Thompson \| Dreams Fly Away (anthology), Richard Thompson \| You? Me? Us?, and Tim Hardin \| Simple Songs ...
		Linda Thompson, Dreams Fly Away (Ryko 1996) - Britain's Linda Thompson, who recorded a terrific body of material with her ex-husband, Richard Thompson, is finally treated to a well-overdue retrospective with Dreams Fly Away.
		Richard Thompson's songs were given terrific treatments by Linda, whose grave, lucid poise and disarming candor conveyed a timelessness, of ancient and modern, that allowed Richard, Linda, and their musicians to tie together many strands of British music.
		Linda admits that many of the stories that came out of this period are true, including the rumor that she once hit Richard with a guitar on stage.

	index magazine interview
		The six albums Linda Thompson made with her husband Richard in the '70s and early '80s were startling amalgams of guitar rock, traditional British folk, and pristine, soulful singing.
		LINDA Well, it didn't matter to Jimmy and Robert what genre she was, they just heard her sing and thought, 'holy shit!' And she was a real hellraiser.
		LINDA I was unfavorably compared to the Sex Pistols, I'll have you know, by a club manager who said that I trashed his dressing rooms worse than they did.

	Richard Thompson
		The combination of her superb vocals and Richard's talents as a songwriter and guitarist subsequently led to the recording of six albums by the duo.
		Although including some of Richard's best loved songs such as the title track and 'Wall Of Death' and some of Linda's finest vocal performances on 'Walking On A Wire', it was to be their last recording together.
		Thompson's songwriting genius was by now detailing serial murders and political incest, as well as gossip and dancehall romances.

	Rykodisc Catalog - Dreams Fly Away - Linda Thompson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Mention the name Linda Thompson and one invariably thinks of the words "Richard and...." One of the most celebrated musical duos of the '70s, the Thompsons' body of work was indeed remarkable, with Richard's songs and guitar finding their perfecheir perfect match in Linda's deep, haunting voice.
		It's no wonder that fans have searched ever since for more Linda Thompson recordings -- whether they were on obscure UK compilations, bootleg live tapes, or her one, now-scarce solo album.
		In addition to many tracks from the Richard & Linda days, the set sheds light on some of Linda's more elusive work -- from her performances in the early '70s, to the "lost" albumsessions from 1987.

	richard-and-linda-thompson Mp3 Albums Review
		Linda`s vocals are a little less original, but more than adequate compared to other singers, and anyway, the imperfections of this album adds up to become perfection as a whole.The title song, for example: A rambunctious, messy, drunken, glorious thing, complete with a marching band and a primitive bassline, totally irresistible.
		Linda's vocals are as good as ever, and she sings lead on more than half of the tracks here.
		Thompson's guitar work remains a unique talent, and Linda's voice is just superb (I have yet to find a solo Richard album this satisfying, because with his penchant for such dark, unflinching material, a voice as beautiful as Linda's provides excellent counterpoint).

	Linda Thompson
		Thompson's most ambitious undertaking to date was a planned militia march on Washington, D.C., on September 19, 1994, where an ultimatum was to be delivered to the government.
		Thompson ordered all participants to come "armed and in uniform," and that besides delivering the ultimatum, "The militia will arrest Congressmen who have failed to uphold their oaths of office, who will then be tried for Treason by citizens' courts." Realizing after several months that support for her march was lacking, Thompson called it off.
		Thompson continues to appear at rallies and conferences around the country, on radio and on computer bulletin boards, promoting the militia cause and calling down thunder upon the American government and its law enforcement agencies.

		Linda Thompson recorded seven brilliant Celtic-tinged albums in the ’70s and early ’80s with then-husband Richard, culminating in Shoot Out the Lights, one of the most devastating divorce albums ever recorded and a hallmark of British folk-rock music.
		Late or not, Linda Thompson deserves to be in the spotlight, all by herself.

		But it was the albums he made with his then-wife Linda in the early 1970s that gained him the reputation as one the premier songwriters to emerge from the British folk-rock scene.
		Linda's slightly husky alto inspired some of Richard's sweetest melodies, such as "Dimming of the Day," "For Shame of Doing Wrong," and "Down Where the Drunkards Roll," even as their sometimes rocky relationship caused him to write some of his gloomiest lyrics.
		Linda Thompson (Peters) has a very powerful and beautiful voice that, for me, carries me off with it's elegance and creativity.
