August 29, 2000
Teddy Thompson's self-titled, debut album features some collaborative work with Rufus. Not only does he provide backing vocals for "So Easy," but he and Teddy co-wrote the lyrics to "Missing Children." For that reason, the lyrics to the latter are included, though Rufus cannot be heard in the song.

Teddy Thompson, the son of singer-songwriters Richard and Linda Thompson, has been friends with both Rufus and Martha for many years. Teddy has toured with both of the Wainwright children, and has started his own career as a second-generation musician. But not to worry, this folk singer has a style of his own!
