"Folkjokeopus" is the third album issued by English rock/folk singer-songwriter & guitarist Roy Harper.

History

It is notable for the lengthy track, "McGoohan's Blues", which Harper states was "inspired by actor Patrick McGoohan's depiction of the establishment rebel in his TV series, "The Prisoner".cite web | url = http://www.royharper.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=5 | title = Folkjokeopus - CD | accessdate = 2008-04-30] "One For All" was dedicated to tenor saxist Albert Ayler, whom Harper had known in Copenhagen.

The album title was borrowed to provide the name of a Minneapolis record store, Oar Folkjokeopus.

Reception

Allmusic, although noting influences such as Bob Dylan, Bert Jansch, Donovan, and possibly Al Stewart, and praising Harper's "uniformly excellent" guitar work, criticised Folkjokeopus for being "sprawling and unwieldy".
