Son of super-folkies Linda and Richard Thompson he may be, but Teddy Thompson is carving out a nicely-shaped career of his own.
That won't stop the parental references, an inevitability he embraces with collaborations with both ma and pa on his latest album, Separate Ways.
His close friends Rufus and Martha Wainwright also appear on the record, as do Fairport Convention drummer Dave Mattacks, bluegrass/jazz banjoist Tony Trischka and Garth Hudson, the legendary keyboard maestro of The Band.
The album comprises 12 original compositions, as well as an unlisted hidden rendition of The Everly Brothers' classic, Take A Message To Mary, which he performs with his mother.
Despite living in America since his teens, Teddy is enduringly English and is a deeply charismatic singer and expressive guitarist.
His father, Richard, was a key figure in the Seventies folk revival, both as a founder member of Fairport Convention and as one half of the husband and wife duo, Richard and Linda Thompson.
When Teddy was born in 1976 they were living in a commune and practising Sufism. Teddy took to music naturally, forming his first band in his early teens. After finishing school he moved to Los Angeles,where he pursued a musical career in earnest, winning a strong fanbase and a record deal.
His debut album was followed by a self-released EP, Blunderbuss, which, together with his latest offering, prove Teddy is in it for the long haul, wanting to be timeless rather than trendy.
