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\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\u003cp\u003eRecorded live with his longtime band — Taras Prodaniuk on bass, Michael Jerome on drums, David Mansfield on guitar and fiddle, and wife Zara Phillips on backing vocals — at Hobosound Studio in Weehawken, NJ, the sessions moved fast, often in just two to four takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
