Chuck Prophet has released his new album The Land That Time Forgot on Yep Roc Records, a collection that he describes as a "21st Century exorcism" confronting American injustice from the Great Depression through "Nixonland" and into the present day.

Co-written with fellow Bay Area artist klipschutz and recorded in Upstate New York after being priced out of their regular San Francisco haunts, The Land That Time Forgot confronts the inequality, economic hardship and self-serving politics that have too often repeated themselves through U.S. history. The results have garnered some of the highest praise of Prophet's lauded solo career.

The Land The Time Forgot comes during a momentous period of Prophet's career, including the release of his official biography earlier this month - What Makes the Monkey Dance: The Life And Music Of Chuck Prophet And Green On Red by Stevie Simkin. Both Chuck and Stevie will sit down to discuss the book during virtual events with Green Apple Books in San Francisco today and Book Soup in Los Angeles on August 25. Chuck has also been hosting a weekly radio show on Gimmie Country, called Trip In The Country, which has seen him shine a light on Nashville's under-represented soul and R&B records of the 60s and 70s.
