When last we left our hero, the former Green on Red guitarist--one of the most underrated Telecaster players on the planet--was parsing the connections between neo-soul, twangy blues, and Dylanesque rock on 2002's No Other Love, perhaps his best solo album. On this postmodern roots plunge, he swims deeper into pastiche song structures, adding lighter strings, heavier guitar licks, and more restless romanticism. His beats, however, remain as thick as they are organic, his voice occluded in a raspy filter. If the songwriting resonates a bit less fiercely (with the notable exceptions of the title track and the power-poppy "Just to See You Smile"), Prophet continues to make records that sound like none other on the loosely defined alt-country scene--lush, elliptical, inventive, moody, and deeply, even eloquently, grooved. --Roy Kasten

 A good album... August 24, 2007
I truly enjoy this album. I really do. It's pop-ish and pleasant and caring, and "Just to See You Smile" makes me happy. It's just that I have to convince myself that I like this album whenever it comes on. Maybe it's that I listened to it too much when I first got it, but this album doesn't seem to age well.
 Another great album from Chuck! February 24, 2006

One of those albums that's great on the first listen, but gets even better with repeated ones.

We'd heard his name for a few years, but it wasn't until we heard `Just to See You Smile' come bubbling out of our radio that we took an interest. Although `...Smile' is the sprightliest song on Prophet's `Age of Miracles' there are a handful of others just as ear-pleasing. Prophet is a tough artist to categorize...our favorite kind. He mixes just enough elements of rock, country and blues to personify "pop". He is as versed and versatile a guitarist as he is a songwriter. He is an accomplished producer who blends organic studio sounds with those synthetic ones that denote the century in which they were recorded. Reminiscent, vocally, of a bunch of artists we've heard before (Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Jerry Jeff Walker, Frank Zappa), he provides just the right combo of authority, humor, and edge to his array of fine songs. Prophet has a back catalogue. This cd is good enough to compel us, given the time and the financial resources, to go back and dig through it.

If you are looking for something to kick back and relax to, this is it! I am a blues, rock, folk, funk and everything in-between lover and this happens to be one of my favs of all time.
Awesome CD February 10, 2005

I bought this CD for the song "Pin a Rose On Me," but when I listened to the whole thing, I found two songs I liked even more: "Monkey on My Back" and "You Did." I've actually loaned out two copies and am now on my third. Unbelievably, my mom took my latest one, and she's 62, and the previous one went to my niece who is 16, so there is definitely a range of listeners who will like this music. I know the comparisons have already been made, but Prophet sounds to me like a combination of Tom Waits, Tom Petty, Leonard Cohen, and Bob Dylan. (Although my mother thinks he's a bit like Anthony from the Chili Peppers, as well. Yah, she's a cool mom.) Anyway, I think the entire CD is amazing and I've just ordered two other ones to listen to, as well.
