Pure, guileless rock abandon.

Chuck Prophet’s genius lies in assimilating a wide variety of genres into his essentially Stonesy architecture ahead of the standard curve. From the seminal ‘80s alt-country shimmer of Green on Red to his incredibly diverse solo sonic quilt – early Americana rocker/mid-period electronic folkie/latter-day style hybridist – Prophet has engagingly exemplified his surname. On Soap and Water, his Yep Roc debut, Prophet continues to defy easy categorization, seamlessly weaving together his myriad roles: chunky rocker (“Freckle Song”), sensitive pop balladeer (“Would You Love Me”), sonic dabbler (“Doubter Out of Jesus (All Over You)”).
