Chuck Prophet – Homemade Blood (Cooking Vinyl)
Ex-Green On Red man Chuck Prophet seems to be enjoying himself on his fourth solo outing, a stomping Stonesy set that packs a whole lot of attitude into its twelve songs.

Although most of the songs are story-based, there’s a real bar room feel to the wonderfully titled “Homemade Blood”. Most of the record falls between the wordiness of Elliott Murphy and the raw gutsy Austin sound of the True Believers. This inspired combination shines through on songs like “You Been Gone” and “Ooh Wee” to fabulous effect.

Put this album on in the car and notice how you drive slightly faster whilst gently nodding your head.
