Linda Thompson - My Mother Doesn't Know I'm On The Stage (CD)

Product Description

Linda Thompson's career begins in the much beloved late '60s, early '70s British folk-rock scene. At fi rst, she was mostly a session singer and a part of a short-lived duo with Paul McNeill with whom she released two singles in 1968 and 1969. McNeill happened to be friends with Sandy Denny, and soon so was Linda. She became one of the "supergroup" of musician friends related to Fairport Convention for the 1972 The Bunch album, a side project of sorts, featuring rock hits of the '50s. The album's single featured Linda and Sandy Denny covering The Everly Brothers' "When Will I Be Loved." Also in 1972 Linda married Richard Thompson and Linda (with Sandy Denny) can be found in the credits for Richard's 1972 solo debut, Henry The Human Fly. Beginning in 1974, albums started appearing by Richard & Linda Thompson winding up with the classic Shoot Out The Lights in 1982 which also signaled the end of their marriage.
