Product Details

San Francisco's Chuck Prophet spent years as the guitar engine behind Green on Red before establishing himself as one of the American West's sharpest songwriters. Bobby Fuller Died For Your Sins takes its title from the El Paso rocker who recorded "I Fought the Law" and died under mysterious circumstances in 1966, a perfect patron saint for Prophet's sun-bleached tales of broken promises and beautiful losers.

Chuck Prophet describes his new disc Bobby Fuller Died For Your Sins as California noir. The state has always represented the Golden Dream, and it's the tension between romance and reality that lurks underneath the surface in all noir films and paperbacks, and that connects these songs. Doomed love, inconsolable loneliness, rags to riches to rags again, and fast-paced violence are always on the menu on the Left Coast. Featuring "A Bad Year For Rock And Roll," an ode to all of the great artists we lost in 2016 and a bunch of other Chuck Prophet (soon to be) classics.
