Product Description The studio was state-of-the-art...for 1957. Surgical masks were as common as sunglasses. Earthquakes shook the streets. This was Mexico City, 2009, the city that was the muse for Chuck Prophet s new album ¡Let Freedom Ring! Needing a vantage point outside his home country to make what he calls, ''a political album for non-political people,'' Chuck and his band found themselves at the epicenter of the biggest pandemic scare of the new century. Swine flu was in the air literally and figuratively yet underneath the paranoia of H1N1 lay something more, something even larger. A cultural sea change was stirring. Brought on by the democratizing power of the internet, traditionally poverty stricken youth all over Mexico City were being exposed rapid-fire to music and art that had always been hidden from them. Inspired by this renaissance ¡Let Freedom Ring! billows with primal color and sound, evidenced by Prophet s return to the direct ''two guitars, bass and drums'' rock music of his past. On one hand a song cycle about breaking up but keeping it together, and on the other a political mission statement of hope, ¡Let Freedom Ring! doesn t incorporate the music of Mexico but instead imbibes its spirit and swims in its soul. Purposeful and rippling with rock sinew, this is Chuck Prophet 3.0. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsDecent CD, But... M. Northuis | Greensboro, NC USA | 12/12/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "I have turned a number of people on to Chuck's music via a compilation disk of cuts made from his previous 4 albums,The Hurting Business-Soap and Water. Everyone that hears it seem to have the same response-"Holy crap (!), why haven't I heard of this guy before?". His music is based on classic rock and soul styles with forays into hip hop, funk, pop and whatever fits. That is not to say you have heard it all before, he has a unique take on these classic styles and mixes genres in unexpected ways. He sings like an urban hipster and his lyrics are always poignant and direct. In a world of poseurs he is the real MCfarging deal. When I first heard Let Freedom Ring I thought it was the most boring album of his career, too many by-the-numbers rockers like you hear on any AOR radio station. But with repeated listenings some gems started to stand out-You And Me Baby (Holding On), Hot Talk and Good Time Crowd. Now I like pretty much the whole disk but it is still not my fave. If you are a fan this won't dissapoint but if you are new to Mr. Prophet I suggest either Soap And Water or The Hurting Business as starting points, Soap... is the more upbeat of the two and Hurting... is deep and dark(my Fave). Now if he could only get Ry Cooder, Nicky Hopkins and Mick Taylor to record with him.... " And the hits just keep on comin'!!! Robert M. St John | Dublin, Ireland | 10/27/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "CP has created another winner. Check out Sonny Liston's Blues, Where the Hell is Henry, Let Freedom Ring and Hot Talk."
