...Upon My Wicked Son
(1990)

Montezuma Was a Man of Faith
(1991)

...Upon My Wicked Son is the first solo album by Andy Prieboy, released in 1990.^[1]^[2] The album cover is "Fallen Angel" by David Sandlin.

"On the Road Again" is a cover of the Canned Heat song, whose lyrics inspired the album's title. The song "Tomorrow, Wendy", about the suicide of a friend of Prieboy's, bears the rare distinction of having a cover version released (on Concrete Blonde's Bloodletting,) before the original album was released. Prieboy's version of the song features Concrete Blonde's singer Johnette Napolitano on vocals.^[3]

The Chicago Tribune stated that the album "showcases guitarist-vocalist Prieboy's knack for inventive pop-rock song-crafting and off-center lyric themes."^[5] The Los Angeles Times concluded that Prieboy "gets caught up in arty-smarty cleverness as he jumps from progressive blues to Weill-like theater tune to French cabaret, but at least he's out on the front lines grappling with fundamental human matters."^[7]
