Description:
Much like his work with seminal L.A. band Green on Red, Chuck Prophet`s first new album in three years, Soap and Water, defies categorization. Soap and Water moves deftly from Americana and rock to R&B, molding styles at will. A true renaissance rocker, Prophet is a writer, producer and musician who helped define Los Angeles` Paisley Underground scene and open the door for alt.country`s rise to prominence in the 1990s. Prophet`s dark undercurrents and mythic persona have coupled with his seat-of-the-pants creative philosophy to make him one of the most sought-after songwriters in music today."His most satisfying album yet. The range of styles is impressive, from the pale hip hop of `Something Stupid` to the title track`s murky Southern funk and the swamp-blues of `A Woman`s Voice.` But he does the f---ed-up ballad thing expertly too, even drafting a children`s choir for `Would You LoveMe.`" - Uncut, 4 stars out of 4.
