2012 release from the Alt-Rock veteran and former member of Green On Red. For most of his life, San Francisco has been Chuck Prophet's muse...or more accurately, his drug of choice. Named for the ill-fated Rock club of the same name, Temple Beautiful was made in San Francisco, by San Franciscans about San Francisco. Roy Loney, vocalist and wildman in legendary Bay Area band The Flamin' Groovies contributes guest vocals to the title track. Part love letter and part unsentimental tour, Temple Beautiful attempts to capture San Francisco in all its forms: romantic port-of-call, bohemian utopia, but even more so, an often unforgiving pioneer outpost filled with the freaks and characters not welcome in America's heartland. And musically, there is no doubt that San Francisco is one of the country's most enduring scenes. Home to decade after decade of classic artists and albums. Temple Beautiful is at once a look back at the inspirations that spawned them and the next installment in its discography.
