4.0 out of 5 stars All heart, 30 Oct 2007
By Dudley Serious - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Versatile Heart (Audio CD)
This album is primarily contemplative in tone and sparely arranged, coloured in with touches of brass here, strings there, accordion elsewhere. In her self-penned compositions there are plenty of observations on life from a woman whose own life has taken many unexpected turns, not all of them very pleasant. And she has the benefits of some quality songwriting assistance from people including Tom Waits, Rufus Wainwright and her son Teddy Thompson, who also plays guitar. "Versatile Heart" is a fragile beauty, but with a certain underlying strength and dignity, as you'd expect of Linda Thompson.

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome return to form, 31 Aug 2007
By A.lan Stevens "MediaCoach" (LONDON United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Versatile Heart (Audio CD)
It's been a long time. OK, Linda delivered the splendid "Fashionably Late" in 2002 after over 10 years of silence with a vocal disorder, but in my opinion, "Versatile Heart" is even better. I haven't seen her perform live since her on-stage antics with Richard (you could have cut the atmosphere with a knife at times), but this album is a must-hear. Her voice is as good as ever, and the album features the usual suspects - her son Teddy, the incomparable Martin Carthy, and a favourite of mine, accordion player John Kirkpatrick. The best folk-rock album of the year so far. It should win awards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply stunning, 20 Aug 2007
By Philip Moynagh - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is quite simply a stunning return with highlights galore, but for me the standout track has to be 'Go Home', all the more so as it's recorded live. This lady is pure class, and this cd is a must!!

3.0 out of 5 stars A little more country than 'Fashionably Late'...
