If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

Richard + Linda Thompson « Previous | |Next »
June 27, 2009

The song below is from Hokey Pokey, the followup to Richard and Linda Thompson's classic 1974 debut, I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight.

"Hokey Pokey (The Ice Cream Song)" is upbeat and playful piece, and as its riff refers back to Chuck Berry, it is more on the rock side of the folk and rock amalgam. Hokey Pokey the album was made before the Thompson's self-imposed three-year retirement in order to join a communal Sufi Muslim sect. What I enjoy about these earlier albums are the use of horns, accordion, and ancient instruments.
