If you weren’t aware that the good people at Lost in Ohio have re-issued the classic album The Grape Prophet by L.S. Underground, then you might not know that Michael Knott and company got together last year to re-record 4 songs from the album with orchestral accompaniment. The result is amazing! But you might be wondering what exactly would that sound like? Well, ponder no more – Lost in Ohio has given DTL the privilege of premiering “The Fold” (the 2021 acoustic version)! You can stream it here:

Want more? Well they head over to Lost in Ohio to pre-order today!

“After being out of print for nearly 30 years, and after an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020, Lost in Ohio is pleased to announce a pre-order for L.S. Underground’s legendary rock opera The Grape Prophet. For those unfamiliar, The Grape Prophet tells the story of Ellis, a worker at an orange grove who is sent to the vineyards of the Grape Prophet, in order to bring back the pickers who have been lured away. It was the first of frontman Michael Knott’s trilogy of rock operas. The album has remained a fan favorite, but has been out of print in physical form since soon after its release in 1992.

In addition to reissuing the album digitally and on CD, we will be releasing it for the first time on vinyl (available in either orange or grape). Michael has also recorded new acoustic versions of four of the album’s tracks, which are complemented by strings by Luke Moller (Carrie Underwood, Kasey Musgraves), and performances from Steve Hindalong (The Choir), Jesse Sprinkle (Poor Old Lu) and Rick McDonough (Struck Last May). The new tracks were recorded by Rick McDonough and mixed by Derri Daugherty, and the entire affair has received a fresh master from Adam Boose.
