\"\"This is considered by many to be the quintessential release by LS Underground, I think the newest PTSD<\/em> is just as good (if not better), but we reviewed that too. THE GRAPE PROPHET<\/em> IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AGAIN, that\u2019s why I thought we should cover it here. This release was what made music in the alternative early 90\u2019s so amazing! A layered canvas with musical textures and ideas that was so innovative and unique that they defined an era. The players on this one were (of course) Knott and Brian Doidge, Caryn Colbert, Chuck Cummings, Mike Sauerbrey, Steve Hindalong and Dan Michaels. If you don\u2019t know the story of The Grape Prophet then you have been hiding under a rock, but it was a concept album the Knott recorded about his interactions with a particular church, and he transposed it into a story about an orange picker in the Southern California orange groves named Ellis (or L.S.). This is the record that introduced fans to notable favorites like \u201cWino of the Red Is Stained\u201d and \u201cEnglish Interpreter Of English.\u201d If you never had this one, you can get it again, or if you\u2019ve never heard it before you definitely need to check it out. It is a must have record, I know, the Grape Prophet told me so\u2026<\/p>\n
