Teddy Thompson and acclaimed singer Kelly Jones will release their stunning harmony duet collaboration Little Windows on Cooking Vinyl April 1, 2016. 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 LA, he in NYC) 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 gorgeous songs that comprise this album explore the joy and sorrows of love and the vagaries of the human heart. Teddy and Kelly have shared the lyric video for "I Thought That We Said Goodbye," the first single to be released from Little Windows. Writing in Rolling Stone, 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." Watch the lyric video for "I Thought We Said Goodbye" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6SLAqVE3Ao In keeping with this classic sound, vocally reminiscent of Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons, the album was recorded live to a 16 track tape machine by producer Mike Viola (Ryan Adams, Jenny Lewis) with a crackerjack band featuring Pete Thomas(drums), Davey Farragher (bass), Steve Elliot (guitar), Daniel Clarke (keys) andTeddy Thompson (guitar). Linda Thompson is the executive producer.
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 other family members. A longtime member of Rufus Wainwright's touring band, Teddy has also collaborated with such artists as Emmylou Harris and Mary Chapin Carpenter. In 2014, the New York Times called him “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters of his generation.” Kelly Jones’ debut album SheBANG was released in 2008 and called "a practically flawless 28 minutes of power pop" by Power Popaholic. Her follow-up Alta Loma was released in 2013. Little Windows track listing: 1.Never Knew You Loved Me 2.Make A Wish On Me 3.Better At Lying 4.Wondering 5.I Thought That We Said Goodbye 6.Don’t Remind Me 7.As You Were 8.Only Fooling 9.You Can’t Call Me Baby 10.You Took My Future "I Thought That We Said Goodbye" is available as an 'instant grat' when you pre-order the album from iTunes http://po.st/TediT2 or from the Teddy & Kelly store: http://po.st/TedStore2 Little Windows will be available on CD, LP and download.
