Saturday Sounds - Linda Thompson - Proxy Music

Linda Thompson, formerly married to Richard Thompson, had a successful career as a solo performer until losing her ability to sing. Nonetheless, she's still been able to release a lovely album of her songs sung by other performers, appropriately titled Proxy Music. 

In their review, Pitchfork has this to say about it.

Life and art have long been entwined with unusual intensity for Thompson. Shoot Out the Lights, her final album as a duo with Richard, was filled with songs about bitterly dissolving relationships, many of them apparently written while things were still happy between them, and released just as their real-life breakup was bringing their collaboration to an end. Proxy Music entwines them again. Turning Linda’s absence as a singer into a flickering subject of the music, rather than just an unfortunate circumstance of its creation, it is a strange and sometimes brilliant album—one that only Linda Thompson could have made, whether or not you can hear her singing.
