Teddy Thompson & Rufus Wainwright
King of the Road

Verve/ Universal

WE SAY

We first featured Teddy Thompson in October and are pleased to feature him again with this contribution to the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack. This sterling cover of the Roger Miller classic evidences the pair’s great harmonies. This is a treat, a great cover from a strong soundtrack. London gig: Lock 17 (Dingwalls), January 25
