I have to say that - after only a few listens - the new Chuck Prophet album is a strong contender for my record of the year.
I already posted one of the lead singles earlier in the year, the hilarious Trum-baiting...
Chuck Prophet - Get Off The Stage
Since then, he's been posting a new tune every couple of weeks, among them these little gems...
Chuck Prophet - Willie & Nilli
...which is about growing old with someone you can just about put up with...
Chuck Prophet - Marathon
...which owes a wonderful debt to The Time Warp...
Chuck Prophet - Love Don't Come From The Barrel Of A Gun
...which shows Sting a trick or two in cod reggae done right.
This is my favourite right now though. Funny and heartbreaking all at once.
Been a fan of Chuck Prophet ever since his time with Green On Red. Love that "High As Johnny Thunders" song - and Chuck's great guitar playing. I'm off to check out the album on Bandcamp!
