Danny O'Keefe - Looking Glass & the Dreamers (2020)
O’Keefe’s album, Looking Glass and the Dreamers, pays tribute to valiant yet peaceful people through a series of songs the detail their heroic struggle and, in turn, the heartbreak that they had to endured to the whims of the powers that be. It’s a sumptuous set of songs, an epoch effort in a way, and one well-researched and documented with absolute astute devotion. At the same time, it’s both beautiful and bittersweet, as reflected by songs such as “Looking Glass” (the first song O’Keefe wrote for the album, dating back to 1968), “The View From Here,” “The Women Are Singing,” and “Jackson Sundown,” the latter about the Nez Perce rodeo rider, a nephew of Chief Joseph who became a frequent target of derision and discrimination.
