Country music has been inescapable for me, a recurring theme, says Teddy Thompson. At the age of 10 or 11, thats the first thing I heard where my ears pricked up and Im like, Oh, this is music? I like this.The simplicity and emotional intensity of classic country la Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and George Jones has been a big part of Thompsons own sound as an artist, which the New York Times called beautifully finessed and NPR hailed as the musical equivalent of an arrow to the heart.
