Since she split up with Richard in 1982, Linda Thompson has released only three solo records, which makes each new one feel like a gift. Her latest, Versatile Heart, is absolutely lovely, and features contributions from her children Teddy and Kamila, as well as a duet with Antony from Antony and the Johnsons penned by Rufus Wainwright. The songwriting is clever and diverse, reflective and mature. Get a feel for the album with this edition of the Songlines podcast.
