"... a musically fabulous and lyrically compelling album."
- The Guardian
As the title indicates, this album brings together various members of the musical Thompson family: Teddy Thompson, his acclaimed folk rocker parents Richard and Linda, brother Jack, younger sister Kami, her husband James and nephew Zak Hobbs, collectively dubbed Thompson. This collaborative album of original songs captures the warmth, intelligence and humour of this supremely talented family as they record together for the very first time. The family members all wrote and recorded their songs where they live and sent them in; once done, the family met up for four days of studio time in London and New York City where the tracks were recorded with Teddy at the helm. The recordings feature abundant musical cross-pollination from all the performers as well as shared backing vocals.
"Growing up you are formed by your parents and then when you get to be 18 or 19 and you get out of the house, you want to distance yourself from your parents. That’s natural. That was the case for me musically. I wanted to get away from them. Then you realize you can’t because that’s who you are. So you come round again."
