Just listened to Temple Beautiful by Chuck Prophet. Excellent.
I like the melodies a lot. The songs are honest and direct. There are some dark turns lyrically, along with a coy wit, but these pieces are so exuberant it's easy to just get caught up in the momentum of the tune.
Temple Beautiful makes me smile in the same way Jonathan Richman's albums used too. It sucks that I'm stuck in the Midwest; I'll probably never get a chance to see Prophet and the Mission Express play...ah that sucks....
You should go to iTunes and buy this album now.
