Richard Thompson "1,000 Years of Popular Music"

Richard Thompson—the British folk-rock legend deemed one of the top guitarists of all time—celebrates 1,000 years of popular music in this witty and beguiling original show. Asked by Playboy to name the greatest songs of the past millennium, Thompson took the magazine literally, delivering a list spanning ten centuries. Passed over for publication, Thompson gave life to this incredible show. Accompanied by vocalists Judith Owen (keyboards) and Debra Dobkin (percussion), Thompson shows his prowess with styles from medieval Italian ballads to sea shanties, Broadway, Hank Williams, the Beatles, and even Britney Spears.
