What People Are Saying
This album has a particular way of pulling you away from wherever you are and whatever you're doing.
​
They aren’t just playing music. They’re telling truths.
-A98​​​

Chucky Trading Co’s A Sky of Hopes feels like it was unearthed from a forgotten reel of 1970s analog tape, dusted off, and quietly updated for a more reflective present. The brother and sister duo of CS Taber and Patricia “Danger” Taber bridge New York and Nashville, but their true spiritual home is somewhere closer to Laurel Canyon. That is where this album seems to live, surrounded by incense smoke, soft light, and a few worn copies of The Prophet. The songs are steeped in the counterculture canon, full of both sincerity and theatricality, and they are not shy about their roots.
