...Upon My Wicked Son by Andy Prieboy

...Upon My Wicked Son, Andy Prieboy's first solo album, came out on Doctor Dream Records in 1990, two years after he left the lead singer's spot in Wall of Voodoo. The cover is David Sandlin's painting "Fallen Angel", and the title comes from the words of Canned Heat's "On the Road Again", which he covers here.
The heart of the record is "Tomorrow, Wendy", his song about a friend's suicide, which pulled off the odd feat of being heard in a cover version first, on Concrete Blonde's Bloodletting, before his own album came out. His take has Concrete Blonde singer Johnette Napolitano on vocals, and it's a stark, haunted thing. Next came Montezuma Was a Man of Faith.
