Often cited as among the finest female vocalists in rock music, Linda Thompson first achieved renown as one half of the British husband/wife duo Richard & Linda Thompson who were responsible for a series of acclaimed albums from 1974 until their personal and professional separation in 1982. A wide-ranging, confident work, Linda's latest solo release is "Versatile Heart". The music draws from the sort of classic folk-rock that Thompson helped invent, namely traditional British Isles balladry, rockabilly, and contemporary art song.
