Teddy Thompson and acclaimed singer Kelly Jones will release their stunning harmony duet collaboration Little Windows on April 1st via Cooking Vinyl. The duo have also announced new North American and UK tour dates and unveiled the single "Never Knew You Loved Me Too" via YAHOO! Music. Stream "Never Knew You Loved Me Too" via YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUiKPwo8TB4&feature=youtu.be Teddy and Kelly first sang together on a George Jones track at LA's Club Largo in 2011. It was love at first note and not long after, they embarked on a bi-coastal musical relationship (she in Los Angeles, he in New York City) writing the songs that would become Little Windows along with partner Bill DeMain. Inspired by the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, and Sam Cooke, the ten songs that comprise the album explore the joy and sorrows of love and the vagaries of the human heart. About the new single, Teddy offered "'Never Knew You Loved Me Too' is a song about missed opportunities. Two friends who could have been more but never spoke up. Maybe they didn't get drunk together enough. That usually does it." In keeping with a classic sound, vocally reminiscent of Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons, the album was recorded live to a tape by producer Mike Viola (Ryan Adams, Jenny Lewis) and a stellar band featuring Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions), Davey Farragher (Cracker, Elvis Costello), Daniel Clarke (Ryan Adams) and was executive produced by Linda Thompson.
Previously, Rolling Stone shared "I Thought That We Said Goodbye," the first single to be released from Little Windows. Stephen L. Betts called the album a collection of "sparkling pop gems and sobering country ballads" and said that "any of the album's 10 tracks could be mistaken for some long-lost sonic nugget from the Fifties or Sixties." Teddy's last solo album Bella was released in 2011; while he produced and sang on 2014's acclaimed Thompson Family album that featured his now-divorced parents Richard & Linda Thompson among many other family members. A longtime member of Rufus Wainwright's band, Teddy has also collaborated with Emmylou Harris, Mary Chapin Carpenter, among others. In 2014, The New York Times Magazine called Teddy "one of the most gifted singer-songwriters of his generation." Kelly Jones' debut album SheBANG was released in 2008 to critical acclaim and was called "a practically flawless 28 minutes of power pop" by Power Popaholic. Her follow-up Alta Loma was released in 2008.
