Any opinon on this year's Linda Thompson and Richard Thompson albums? I didn't hear the former, liked the latter more than I'd expected. Deep gargly manly voice, dramatic delivery that always seems slightly comic (or maybe that's my projecting the idea that such drama should have a comic edge - but in the past I've had trouble hearing the deep gargly voice as all that musical (why I liked him best with Sandy Denny singing lead or harmony). I still have that trouble, but he came up with a load of nice melodies, and his voice connects to them fairly well.

The only song of Teddy Thompson's I've heard is "Psycho," which he does excellently, low-keying it nicely without being too recessive.
