What Makes The Monkey Dance: The Life And Music Of Chuck Prophet And Green On R
T**T
Fans of Green On Red and Chuck Prophet (but not only) will enjoy this.
As a long-time fan of Green On Red and Chuck Prophet, I bought the book straight off the bat, and no regrets. It's extremely well researched. Many of the names of venues and musicians meant nothing to me, but that's okay. CP's story is worth reading, and this book does him justice. It covers the recording, the touring and the hassles with record labels, and is testament to the staying power of CP and Stephanie Finch. So - buy his music, go and see Chuck Prophet and the Mission Express if you can. Four stars for this book doesn't seem enough, so I'll give it five.

good bio
being a fan of Green On Red more than CP solo career I didn't particularly enjoy the book: I always find the first part of a bio, youth and formation, boring (but that is my limit), the GOR part is a bit rushed, the solo career becomes repetitive (record recording/record song to song review/press reaction/solo tour, over again)

The greatest guitar player and showman you've never heard of
Track down his records or pull up some YouTube vids if you need proof. But the book will give you the feel for what life as a working musician looks like for most people–a gritty game of chance conquered by not letting your success be defined by other people.

Buy this! Send a copy to a friend.
One of Chuck’s very best efforts. Each song carries one along to some place I have wanted to go. Great lyrics, musically superb, and such sweet harmonies. It’s a comfort in rough times.
