Album reviews: Teddy Thompson covers the bases with touching country collection

The singer songwriter bares his soul with a set of tunes from various artists on My Love of Country

Teddy Thompson has released a second album of cover versions with My Love of Country

Teddy Thompson, My Love of Country (Chalky Sounds)

Teddy Thompson needs little introduction to those that value quality songwriters – even his lineage is nigh on peerless (his parents are Richard and Linda Thompson, two acclaimed diehards of the UK 1960s/’70s folk music scene).

And yet with so much good, authentic country music around now, you might wonder why Thompson would decide to release an album of cover versions (his second, after 2007’s Up Front and Down Low).
