Fucking Chuck Prophet, that\u2019s who. This album is absolutely fantastic and I feel honored to review it, even though it was released in 2009. For all of you Folk Fest goers, you know what a show this man can put on as he absolutely killed the Little Stage on the Prairie this year. The first two opening tracks are great and draw you in, nicely paving the way for the punk driven \u201cWhere the Hell is Henry?\u201d and the unreal title track. Let Freedom Ring has a perfect mix of up-tempo tracks and slower rock jams reminiscent and on par with all the great Americana artists such as Petty, Dylan and Springsteen. The music is amazing but the real strength lies in Prophet\u2019s amazing ability to song write, these songs have some strong lyrics. His ability to have a sense of humor while still being political, yet still being able to tell a story forms an orgy of awesomeness that make Prophets music fun and timeless. How is this man not one of the big names in Rock?! \u00a0(Yep Roc Records, <a href=\"http:\/\/yeproc.com\" target=\"_blank\">yeproc.com<\/a>) <strong>Scott Wolfe<\/strong><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What kind of artist would go to Mexico during the height of the bird flu to record an album in a vintage Mexican recording studio?
