Teddy Thompson



Teddy Thompson (born 1976) is a British folk and rock musician. He is the son of folk-rock musicians Richard and Linda Thompson and brother of singer Kamila Thompson. He is a friend of Rufus Wainwright.

Wainwright's song Nobody's Off the Hook" is about Thompson. Thompson has performed backing vocals on several of Wainwright's recordings, including "One Man Guy" (Poses) and "Tiergarten" (Release the Stars). The two have also collaborated on several projects. They recorded a version of "King of the Road" for the soundtrack to the film Brokeback Mountain (2005). Wainwright arranged strings for "My Blue Tears", which appeared on Thompson's 2007 album Upfront & Down Low. The music video for "In My Arms", the first single from Thompson's album A Piece of What You Need (2008), features a cameo appearance by Wainwright dressed as Elvis Presley.
