Music From the First Album, “Last Exit Angel.”

 

Last Exit Angel is an arrival, a coming-of-age premiere. From Liberation Prophecy’s modest Louisville origins in the 90’s, to its subsequent incarnation in Denton, Texas, (that lineup featuring Norah Jones on vocals) to a short-lived New York edition, and finally back to its Kentucky birthplace, Jacob Duncan’s vision for the project has never wavered, never been compromised. A list of the band’s current personnel reads like a Who’s Who of Louisville’s musical Big Dogs: bassist Sonny Stephens, drummer Jason Tiemann, guitarist Craig Wagner, pianist Todd Hildreth, Josh Toppass on bari sax, Chris Fortner on trombone, tenor saxophonist Aaron Kinman, and Amber Estes, vocals. Norah Jones rejoins the group for a riveting guest lead vocal performance on track 3. Challenging, adventurous, surprising, shapely and free, Liberation Prophecy’s Last Exit Angel is a work of brilliance, a genuine artistic statement that never relies on its considerable reserve of virtuosity to make its points: pure beauty, sincere expression, and as many question marks as answers.
