Fashionably Late is the second solo studio album by British singer and songwriter Linda Thompson. It was released on 30 July 2002 through Rounder Records. The album was her first since One Clear Moment (1985).
After the pop stylings of her previous release, Fashionably Late returns to her more familiar folk aesthetic. Guests on the album include Van Dyke Parks and members of the Thompson family, including Teddy, who was a co-writer of five of the album's tracks and the sole writer of a sixth, and Linda's former husband and musical partner Richard, who contributes guitar and backing vocals.[2]
Despite not receiving much commercial success, Fashionably Late was acclaimed by critics as a triumphant return from Thompson.[1][3][4] The album's follow-up, Versatile Heart was released five years later in 2007.
Fashionably Late was recorded in numerous studios across both the US and England.[1][2] After suffering from spasmodic dysphonia for a number of years,[5] Linda eventually was able to recover to the point of being able to record again.
