On Hippies, Thugs and Heroes, he lets his subconscious take the wheel, pulling from a cast of old friends, false gurus, former selves, and invented characters who insisted on having their stories told.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is an album that refuses to sit still. It opens with the bright, Byrds-inspired jangle of \"The Sorcerer's Apprentice\" — a song rooted in Thompson's own history with 1970s spiritual movements and the complicated pull of charismatic leaders — before swinging into the rowdy \"Everybody's Stealing\" and landing on the bluesy closer \"Stringer.\" Along the way, \"Cocaine Walking, Booze Talking\" delivers some of his most inventive guitar work yet, a raw-nerve build into a splintered, psychedelic solo that captures a hardscrabble cast of London strivers and connivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndie exclusive 2LP on black splatter vinyl, 3-sided, gatefold, with autographed insert.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Eye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67642650722359,"sku":"607396709915","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/6218\/8087\/files\/201375144685.jpg?v=1792546805","url":"https:\/\/hivoltagerecords.com\/products\/richard-thompson-hippies-thugs-and-heroes-2lp-new-indie-exclusive-black-splatter-vinyl","provider":"Hi-Voltage Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
