You're Chucked!


Yesterday Chuck Berry, today Chuck Prophet. Do you see what I did there?
This blog isn't just thrown together you know. Oh no, several  careful minutes have gone into it's preparation.

Charles William Prophet is as you will all know a former member of Green on Red but has gone on to enjoy a long and reasonably successful (or critically acclaimed at least) career as a solo artist with over a dozen albums to his name.
Today's tracks come from his third solo album Feast of Hearts from 1995. The only other one I have is the follow up 1997's Homemade Blood  and I suspect that like Matthew Sweet albums I should own many more. I  further suspect that you will concur and point me in various directions.
I once witnessed him nearly electrocuting himself on stage at King Tuts.

As an aside Chuck, like Hank, is a peculiarly American name. In Britain Charles would be shortened to Charlie, Chas or even Chic! Never Chuck which is a word associated with throwing and indeed throwing up.If you are particularly unlucky you may also find yourself being chucked when a love affair has run it's course

    And tomorrow some Chuck Mangione, CC? It's not the style you posted yet but give a listen to 'Children of Sanchez'. Anyway, Chuck Prophet is great.

    As long as we don't get any Chuck-le Brothers, I'm happy! My feelings on Messrs Prophet and Stuart are well known. Green on Red and any offshoot thereof will always have a place in my ears and heart.

    Thanks for sparking this memory. I saw Green On Red @ Sheffield Leadmill in the 80s and then Chuck Prophet a few years later at same venue after GOR disbanded. Don't think I got into them via Peel or Kershaw which was the usual entree for quality 'leftfield' (God how I hate that expression!) bands at that time so now I'm wondering just how I did first to hear of them. Maybe it was Kershaw after all, anyway one of my fave CP III tracks is here on YT http://tinyurl.com/nvzela9

    If I may contribute to the "Chic on Chuck" debate, here is a little bit of Chuck Jackson for you. Mr Prophet is the King of Chucks though:
