Amazon to offer Teddy Thompson exclusive track

An exclusive version of Teddy Thompson’s A Piece of What You Need (“One of the year’s most captivating and musically impressive LPs” - Uncut Magazine, and a top ten album in the UK) will be offered through Amazon this holiday season with a very special bonus new Christmas song that Teddy has written. Simply entitled “Christmas,” it features performances by Richard Thompson (guitar), Linda Thompson (vocals), and Kamila Thompson (vocals) as well as members of Teddy’s touring band including Jeff Hill (bass), Ethan Eubanks (drums), Jon Darling (guitar) and Daniel Mistseris (keyboards). The song was recorded by Jim Scott in Los Angeles and finished and mixed by Marius de Vries in London.

The track will be available exclusively at Amazon MP3 on December 2, both as an added bonus with the purchase of A Piece of What You Need or as an “a la carte” download.
