KEXP Presents: An Evening with Teddy Thompson
Country music has been inescapable for me, a recurring theme, says Teddy Thompson. At the age of 10 or 11, thats the first thing I heard where my ears pricked up and Im like, Oh, this is music? I like this.The simplicity and emotional intensity of classic country la Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and George Jones has been a big part of Thompsons own sound as an artist, which the New York Times called beautifully finessed and NPR hailed as the musical equivalent of an arrow to the heart. Back in 2007, he explored his roots with Up Front and Down Low, an album of Nashville golden era favorites. And now hes picked up the thread again. Thompson says, The pandemic hit and all bets were off, and the question came up, What can we do musically just for fun? I said, Lets do some country songs. Where the earlier record was made with what he calls an off-the-cuff approach, his latest release, My Love Of Country goes much deeper.
