Chuck Prophet "Let Freedom Ring"



















CP got his start in the 80's with a band called Green on Red, a CA based paisley-pop, jangly REM-ish, psychedelic sounding group. He went solo in the 90's but it's the albums released this decade that have hit my collection. Each release has its own aura, "Freedom" having more than a touch of country-folk-roots, but again, each CD is slightly different from the previous, which is why I am certainly going to get the next album without having to hear any of it first. I hear Rolling Stones and Tom Petty in places on this record. This is a back-to-basics release of guitars, bass and drums, featuring songs written by one of the best storytellers out there today.
