Linda Thompson is a British folk and folk rock singer and songwriter. Born on August 23, 1947 in Hackney, London, England, she is known for her distinctive voice and heartfelt lyrics. From 1972 to 1982, she was married to the renowned musician Richard Thompson, with whom she has three children - Maimuna, Teddy, and Kamila. With a career spanning several decades, Linda Thompson has made a significant impact on the music industry.

Her musical style can be compared to artists such as Sandy Denny, June Tabor, Richard Thompson (her former husband), and Martin Carthy. She has also collaborated with notable acts like Fairport Convention and Fotheringay. Linda's work with Richard Thompson as the duo "Richard & Linda Thompson" further solidified her place in the folk rock genre.

Despite being an accomplished artist in her own right, Linda Thompson continues to support emerging talent within the music industry. Her contributions have influenced musicians such as Norma Waterson, Eliza Carthy, John Renbourn, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, and John Martyn.

One of the most recognised names - and voices - in the British folk rock movement, as well as a Grammy nominated songwriter, Linda Thompson, returns with her first album in six years with the much anticipated 'Won't Be Long Now'. Recorded in the UK and America with a rich array of contributing musicians. While it's undoubtedly a family affair, featuring a duet with former husband Richard Thompson, regular contributions from their children Teddy and Kami, and grandson Zak Hobbs, 'Won't Be Long Now' also reflects Linda's folk beginnings. This new album includes appearances by British stars John Kirkpatrick, Dave Swarbrick, Martin Carthy and his daughter Eliza, as well as American violinist/mandolin player David Mansfield, singer/songwriter Sam Amidon, cellist Garo Yelin and organist Glenn Patscha, among others. A new Linda Thompson album is always an event - considerable media attention is expected. Prior to Versatile Heart (2007), 2002's 'Fashionably Late' was her first album in 17 years. And as 'Won't Be Long Now' reveals, Linda's voice remains as exquisite and recognisable as when she first graced and distinguished the British folk rock movements of the 1970's and 1980's.
