Description
No Other Love was the sixth album in a solo career that began when California native Chuck Prophet split from Green on Red in 1990.
Green on Red helped lead the way for the insurgent country of the 1990s, but on his own Prophet has grown far beyond the category.
No Other Love is maverick genre-bending in the manner of Beck and Jim White, and the stylistic variety suits Prophets compositions, peopled by crazed desperados and beautiful losers.
The songs run the gamut from the raunchy horn- driven swagger of Thats How Much I Need Your Love to the stinging, pleading Elouise, where his ever-inventive guitar vies with Farfisa organ.
Prophet enjoys spicing songs with pop culture references, but his wry humour is counterbalanced by a strong moral undertow in I Bow Down and Pray to Every Woman I See and the beautiful Summertime Thing. This is a Prophet with plenty of honour.
Available to independent retailers pressed on red splatter vinyl at MPO in France. Mastered for vinyl by Jason NeSmith (Chase Park).
No Other Love is now on vinyl for the first time, outside of a limited German release in 2002.
