Artist description
Former Little America guitarist Andy Logan has come out with a solo CD, Last
Dance on the Wild Frontier, that showcases his talents as songwriter, singer and
guitar player. "I wanted to do something that sounded sort of like the Beatles if
they grew up in America and did a 'Springsteen-Nebraska type' record. Yeah, it's
pretty dark in places."
One of the album's tunes, "Money 1, Soul 0" (which earned him runner up in the
folk division of the 2001 John Lennon Songwriting contest), hits home now more
than ever. "Once a corporation changes the name of a historical landmark like
Candlestick Park to 3Com Park, it no longer belongs to the people. Here in
Tennessee, when the Titans make a first down, it's an AmSouth first down. I'm
waiting for the Tostito's Statue of Liberty or the Pentium Yellowstone Park. I
wish I were kidding," says Logan.

Press Reviews
I liked so many of the tunes. . .Shadow, Puttin' It On, Let It Roll, I See Change, Money 1, Soul O…Shadow On My Trail just sounds inevitable. Like someone had to write it. It's as good as any of my favorite songs I've ever heard, period. - Ed King, guitarist, original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and writer of Sweet Home Alabama, Saturday Night Special, and Incense and Peppermints (with The Strawberry Alarm Clock)
Andy Logan reaffirms hope for the future of the Nashville music scene. Unlike many talented writers, Logan has the voice and the guitar skills to deliver his own music with the power that his lyrics deserve. Part blues, part country, this album is rootsy and soulful all the way through. - Gypsy Planet
"I See Change is a Nashville classic." - Taxi Independent A & R Service |
