I know next to nothing about Jasper & The Prodigal Suns, or this album. I believe these guys were from Atlanta, they palled around with G. Love & Special Sauce in the '90s, and that's about all I know. They used a similar chordal style and unvarnished guitar work to G. Love, but applied it to a ramshackle, jazzy sort of small-venue hip-hop rather than a bluesy sort, and to my ears might have had the same drummer. This album sounds like it was recorded live in the studio, and has, raggedy, at times extremely loose, down-to-earth feel and some good hooks. Always liked this one.
According to YouTube commenters, at one point this album was regularly available on Amazon for a penny. I found my copy in the cutout bin, too. It didn't belong there.
So obscure, most of the songs aren't on YouTube, none of my favorites for sure. Still, here's a taste.
