    For those listeners who have enjoyed one solid solo release after the next, including an excellent run in the 2010s, Chuck Prophet with ¿Qiensave? may take some adjustment; however, it proves to be a fruitful collaboration. Even if this is a one-off record, Wake the Dead offers plenty of quality that makes it worthwhile to listen.

    There’s some very fine rock songs (Sally Was A Cop revisits the “Oh-oh-oh” singalong on Willie Mays Is Up At Bat from Temple Beautiful) and excellent ballads, from Americana closer It’s A Good Day To Be Alive to truly beautiful Red Sky Night. [Nov 2024, p.89]

    An exploration of what common ground there might be between it and Prophet’s usual métier of deadpan country rock. It turns out to be substantial, as does this album, from the shuffling Colombiana of “Betty’s Song” to the drawling Tom Petty vibes of “Sally Was A Cop” to the near Glen Campbell-ish “Red Sky Night”. [Nov 2024, p.41]
