Back in 2009 I heard that Linda Thompson was going to make a new record and fund it through what we now call crowdsourcing and I backed the project. A few updates later and a free download song and then it all went quiet. For years.
A couple of weeks ago I got an email out of the blue telling me that Linda's record was finished, would be called, 'Won't Be Long Now' and will be out on 15 October. The email went on to say that I'd be sent a download link "very soon" and physical copies of the record would be sent out after that.
I'd sort of given up on the record but clearly Linda hasn't. I'm looking forward to this record very much indeed.
I fell in love with Linda's voice back in the '70s when I got 'First Light' by Richard & Linda Thompson - which I still listen to - and her solo records - which I also still listen to. Her last record was 'Versatile Heart' from 2007 so it'll be good to hear some new songs. I will, of course, keep you up to date with any developments.
Amanda Palmer is the queen of crowdsourcing but Linda doesn't give up even when it takes four years!
