Now meet the Chuck Prophet
We have Guitartown on Twitter to thank for Chuck Prophet today. Circling above and below Chuck Prophet for years, largely due to the alluring name, we now find ourselves indebted to KEXP for an excellent in-studio live session. KEXP, like NPR’s tiny desk, knows how to mix live music.
Now Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan Watch the chemistry sparkle!
In 2002, when O was released, it wasn’t just an album—it was a raw and intimate conversation, laid bare between Rice and Hannigan. The record emerged from a deeply personal place in Rice’s life, blending acoustic folk with melancholic reflections on love, heartbreak, and vulnerability. The songs were minimalist in arrangement but monumental in emotional depth.
Now David Byrne Growing Backwards Into The Future
Episode 7 Season 2-entitled Forks, The Richie Hero’s Journey episode utilized David Byrnes’s song, Glass, Concrete, and Stone, with great effect. This listener was sonically smitten with the orchestrally rhythmic, vocally nuanced pop masterpiece, “Everything Possible When You’re an Animal”, Glass, Concrete, and Stone song, to the precipice edge of obsession.

It’s Friday, and that means it’s time to spotlight brand new albums that rise above President Martin Van Buren’s disputed contribution to the global lexicon. We listened to more than 50 new releases out today, July 25. We dug into our five favorites in the latest episode of New Music Friday with Joe Kendrick of public radio station WNCW in Western North Carolina.
Two of today’s finest records were born in Appalachia: Roots superstar Tyler Childers‘ downright angry Snipe Hunter and Indigo De Souza’s triumphant Precipice. We also discuss albums by a name you definitely know — Patty Griffin is back — and two names you probably haven’t heard until now: Ryan Davis and Yoshika Colwell.
