There are a few great artists out there who I am at a loss to explain why I have so few of their records.
Matthew Sweet is one such artist who immediately springs to mind and Chuck Prophet is another.
I only have two of his solo records and four in all if you count Green on Red. I've probably seen him more times than that.
1997's Homemade Blood is the last thing of his that I have. So criminally nothing from the last 20 years then although anything of his I have heard during that period has been never short of excellent.
A possible New Year's resolution in there I feel.
Chuck Prophet - Credit
Chuck Prophet - Whole Lot More
AFter reading your piece I checked The Spreadsheet: 2 Green on Red, 3 Chuck Prophet. Needs to be increased, you+re right. Homemade Blood is a splendid album, good choice.
ReplyDeleteMore Matthew, Chuck and Green on Red. Sounds like a good way to start the new year to me.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed - especially hearing 'That's What Dreams' from 'Gas Food Lodging' again would be highly appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI have a slew of Sweet, but your paltry Prophet bests me. I was a big fan of Green on Red, however, especially 'Gas Food Lodging'. Dirk is right on there.
ReplyDeleteChuck is another one of my "must hear more" artists. I did get last year's album though and it was a belter... Only narrowly missed out on my Top 17.
ReplyDeleteI checked my spreadsheet as well (God what are we like!!!) and found 4 Green On Reds and a couple of Chucks. The sad sad thing about this is that they're all on vinyl and since I haven't bought any vinyl let alone played any in the last 20 years means that I really need to get my 'shit' together and put stylus to vinyl. Crackle crackle Thanks for the nudge
