Title Note

Personnel: Richard Thompson (vocals, acoustic guitar); Judith Owen (vocals); Debra Dobkin (percussion).

An ambitious and thoroughly charming undertaking, the two-CD/one-DVD 1000 YEARS OF POPULAR MUSIC finds lauded British folk-rock singer/guitarist Richard Thompson live in San Francisco, performing songs that date from 1260 up to the early 21st century. Aided by keyboardist/vocalist Judith Owen and drummer/vocalist Debra Dobkin, Thompson revisits medieval England with the joyous "Summer Is Icumen In" and the lilting "King Henry," working his way to Gilbert & Sullivan by the end of the first disc with the jaunty "There Is Beauty in the Bellow of the Blast" from THE MIKADO.

The second disc features a spare take on Cole Porter's "Night and Day," and brings things into the early 2000s with, oddly enough, a surprisingly straight-faced acoustic takes on Britney Spear's "Oops!...I Did It Again" and Bowling for Soup's "1985." Simultaneously lighthearted and reverent, this adventurous outing reinforces Thompson's status as a dynamic and unpredictable artist.
