Charles William "Chuck" Prophet is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. A Californian, Prophet first achieved notice in the American psychedelic/desert rock group Green on Red, with whom he toured and recorded in the 1980s. He has also recorded a number of solo records, and gained prominence as a musician and songwriter. Chuck Prophet was born in Whittier, California, United States and calls San Francisco home.

Temple Beautiful ‎(Cass, Album, Ltd). Temple Beautiful opens with, or rather busts on the scene with Play That Song Again, an AM Radio killer hit, if there still was such a thing, delivering a perfect mixture of hooks and attitude, sending Chuck’s telecaster front and center, where he takes it all to the wall in a no nonsense bare knuckles style that’ll have your hand reaching.

LP (12" album, 33 rpm). Chuck Prophet Format: Vinyl. Temple Beautiful is one of his strongest efforts yet. And that's saying something. These songs collectively are a love letter to San Francisco, his adopted hometown. He picks out some of the city's colorful characters, quirks, and historical wrinkles, sprinkles in some of his experiences, and captures something of its soul on this album. The production here is straightforward, a bit more raw and edgy than his recordings from the early to mid 2000s.

Not since Lou Reed paid homage to the city and era that forged him with New York has there been a song cycle dedicated to a place and reality that offers the core immediacy with the thump, churn and ferocity of Chuck Prophet’s Temple Beautiful.

Leave it to San Francisco's Chuck Prophet to turn that generalization upside-down on his twelfth studio release since the 1990 dissolution of Green on Red. This concept set centers on his San Francisco hometown. The 12 tunes on Temple Beautiful, named after an influential and long defunct . punk club, sometimes only obliquely reference the city. Still, Prophet proudly declares that the album was "made in San Francisco, by San Franciscans about San Francisco. Regardless, this is another in a remarkably consistent series of terrific Prophet discs, filled with tightly wound blues-based rock, driven by his unassuming talk-sung vocals and ever-present, always imaginative Telecaster riffs.

For my way of thinking, there are only three records that are about cities, the life in those cities, the culture, the times, the excesses, the joy, the sorrow, and the dark mysterious edges ... the first being the early work by The Velvet Underground, the second was L.A. Woman, by The Doors, and the third is this brilliant outing regarding the city of San Francisco, and hometown of Chuck Prophet.Temple Beautiful opens with, or rather busts on the scene with “Play That Song Again,” an AM Radio killer hit, if there still was such a thing, delivering a perfect mixture of hooks and attitude, sending Chuck’s telecaster front and center, where he takes it all to the wall in a no nonsense bare knuckles style that’ll have your hand reaching out to turn up the volume before you’re even aware of it. Prophet’s lyrics dance between Kerouac’s “On The Road,” and a flashy Dylanesque banter, filled with free association, bigger than life epic characters, lofty aspirations, discovery, and enough homages to spin your head around. But he doesn’t stop there, he graciously channels Ray Davies al-la Muswell Hillbillies, and Jonathan Richmond, effortlessly stripping it all down without sounding frozen or clichéd ... and I haven’t even gotten to the John Lennon “How Do You Sleep” chord changes on “Emperor Norton.”Just wrap your ears around “Who Shot John,” an unexpected updated remake of “Hey Joe,” a song that's filled with sundown shadows, drifting lyrics, haunting melodies, and drenched with shimmering guitars. Others have waved off Temple Beautiful, claiming that it runs out of gas at the end, but they don’t get it, Chuck’s not running out of gas, he’s winding down, stepping back even further into his rich musical history, serving up “Little Girl, Little Boy” with 1950’s flavors, and featuring his wife Stephanie Finch on backing vocals, delivering codeine cough syrup laced harmonies that are full, rich, and subtle all at the same time ... like dollar bills caught on a breeze, blowing down the street, completely unexpected, beautiful, and highly prized.And that that pretty much sums up this album ... it’s highly prized.
