Andy Pratt Solo is an incredible bridge tying the past to the present. It is the composer alone with guitar and piano and song — no different than if he was on a live radio broadcast from the '70s promoting a current LP. With the new frontier of the Internet, this can be viewed as an important part of a trilogy or as a promotional tool. And while both those concepts work, Andy Pratt Solo actually stands on its own as an essential component of his musical legacy. Hearing material from the Andy Pratt album — "Who Will Be My Friend," "I'll Give It All to Music," "Call Up That Old Friend" — especially for those who realize what an intriguing and valuable work that one-of-a-kind album is — brings enlightenment to people who care to explore this intense and thought-provoking individual.
