The video was directed by Daniel Ralston and shot in Palm Springs, CA last month.  About the song, American Songwriter said that it “...features harmonies reminiscent of country duets by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner and George Jones and Tammy Wynette.”  Teddy told the magazine, “‘Never Knew You Loved Me Too’ is a song about missed opportunities and crossed wires between two longtime friends.  There’s often a (little) window for romance and if you miss it, it’s hard to go back.  It’s not a sad song though, it still might happen.”

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.  In keeping with a classic sound, the album was recorded live-to-tape by producer Mike Viola (Ryan Adams, Jenny Lewis), and a stellar band featuring Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions), Davey Faragher (Cracker, Elvis Costellow), Daniel Clarke (Ryan Adams) and was executive produced by Teddy’s mother, Linda Thompson.

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 2013.
