A LOST MASTERPEICE FOUND AGAIN AND AGAIN Jan 01, 2008
Andy Pratt is still making incredible music today. This record is what made him a star. Its perfect and very very quirky. The production really shines on this and there are jaw dropping surprises on every tune.
Andy is currently working on a new album in Miami. I am producing him. Be ready for a really killer record that captures the spirit of this album!!!
 It's About Music Dec 17, 2007
An unheralded seventies pop-rock album. An American edition is available by It's About Music, which is easy to find with a search engine.
BUY IT Aug 20, 2007
If music of this period means ANYTHING to you, and you don't own this, you must RUN now and get it.
It's totally amazing and brilliant. You may have to work a bit with the artiste, but you'll find it quite worth the effort.

Enjoyable pop rock from a guy who should have made it big Jan 12, 2007
Andy Pratt's self-titled second album is one of those lost treasures--he's got a great pop sensibility, vocal talents that range far, and instrumental prowess that makes for a really diverse stylistic and instrumental outing.
The first track is Andy's most well-known song, "Avenging Annie." It's propulsive piano rock with a really rocking chorus. Pratt's voice ranges from soulful to Bee-Gee-like falsetto (doesn't really bother me as much as some critics have claimed). Overall it's a great, solid start to an album that actually lives up to the example the single sets. "Inside Me Wants Out" is the first of many incredibly introspective, emotionally up-front songs on the album. Pratt sings in many different voices (he's really a vocal chameleon) and the backing music is funky and slick. "It's All Behind You" is a funny and optimistic look at life's mistakes.
The rest of the album ranges from R&B rock to tender piano balladry ("Give It All To Music," "So Fine (It's Frightening)") a little bit like Elton John. There's also some pretty radical experimentation--"Who Am I Talking To" is groovy and hard to categorize, and the album's closer, "Deer Song," is dark and moody with exotic mandolins and a strange lyric.
Overall, Andy Pratt is an adventuresome, catchy, and eccentric album, but its eccentricities only make it better. One of the main problems with pop is that it sounds great at first, then it gets boring really quick. Andy Pratt has enough heart, charm, and unusual wrinkles to sound like an old friend on first listen but also to remain interesting for many repeated listens. Check out itsaboutmusic dot com for Andy's catalog--it's probably less expensive, and has his hard-to-find and REALLY expensive masterpiece Resolution for the price of a regular CD. Enjoy!

Andy Pratt's Classic Second Album Sep 11, 2006
Bruce Merrill reviewed this work of art so eloquently that there is little more to say. I listened to this album on a daily basis my sophomore year of college. I think I was going through similar life experiences as Andy because the album struck a chord with me on a very personal level. It is passionate music that never disappoints. I am so glad that it is once again available. Essential and well worth the import price.
