Prefab Sprout – From Langley Park To Memphis

As the title suggests, From Langley Park to Memphis is Prefab Sprout's spiritual journey into the heart of American culture. Obsessed with rock 'n' roll (The King of Rock 'n' Roll) and Bruce Springsteen (Cars and Girls), fascinated by gospel music (Venus of the Soup Kitchen) and entangled in a love-hate relationship with New York City (Hey! Manhattan), Paddy McAloon takes an iconoclastic look across the Atlantic to make sense of it all. A breezy lounge-pop feel permeates the album, which also features cameos from Stevie Wonder and Pete Townshend.
