Vinyl version of new Chuck Prophet album.

BRAND NEW 180gm audiophile vinyl. Embossed double weight sleeve, full colour inner sleeve.

'Soap and Water' is the 8th studio album by solo artist/guitar slinger extraordinaire Chuck Prophet. It's been three years since his last album, but Chuck Prophet is not a man to sit about. He revived the band that started that whole goddamn alt-country thing, Green on Red, for a recent spin around Europe. He produced and co-wrote Kelly Willis' new album, and is currently collaborating with Alejandro Escovedo.

Produced by Brad Jones (Yo La Tengo, Dolly Parton, Josh Rouse), on 'Soap And Water' Chuck is joined by his own band The Mission Express, Todd Roper (of Cake) on drums, and The Spinto Band.

The album sees him blending his twisted soul-country-rock; a Alex
Chilton-meets-Waylon Jennings via Dylan thing, with that Fender Telecaster he's had since his Green On Red days weaving a singular common thread throughout. 'Soap and Water' is, without a doubt, his finest work to date.

Chuck will be returning to Europe touring the album this Sept/Oct.
