Hi, I heard "Be Lucky" on the Radio and had to get it, never said this about any song of any year, but that is the best song I heard from 2007.

Everyone needs to hear it. Im a fan now and plan to get all the albums eventually.

Nine Mile Records release her Chuck Prophet produced album Dont Tell Stateside on March 18th. Available in Europe and everywhere else NOW.

Press Propaganda:

a superb release, a little different from the norm and having an alternative edge
MAVERICK

smart and aware songwriter, both politically and emotionally and the album Dont Tell a record of rare quality
BUCKETFULL OF BRAINS

Prophet and Alpin have woken the guilty preacher, smoked his last cigarette and served him up a condemned mans breakfast whilst Kathleen..s songs challenge his congregation
HESTERGLOCK

sinner, songwriter and expatriate
CHUCK PROPHET

these two men have produced an album of casual brilliance, letting the songs rise in the swirling swell of 21st century uncertainty

"...on new album Soap And Water Chuck lets his fearless subtle vibe off the leash, mixing musical styles, ironic tour-motion schizo-dynamics and a mastery of the fucked-up ballad par excellence sparkle and shimmer out of the speakers like a nugget in a panhandlers calloused and blistered whisky-glass hand...."

SO FUCKING GOOD IT HURTS.......!

Can A Womans Voice Drug You? is the title of THE interview with cool customer Chuck Prophet.

On the eve of a European tour and the release of his most satisfyingly powerful and hip album Soap and Water, Chuck spoke at length with Paul Hawkins on the album, life, the old days, the new days and everything in between.
