Linda Thompson: Proxy Music [Storysound, 2024]
"Friends and family sing songs" devised by a woman who was dealt a worse hand than she deserved by both her husband and her body--which doesn't in itself make it a stone masterpiece as opposed to a fitting monument (Ren Harvieu, "I Used to Be So Pretty"; Teddy Thompson, "Those Damn Roches"; Kami Thompson, "The Solitary Traveller") ***
