Info from Badcat Records:

1982's "Prayers of a One Man Band" may be the best and most enjoyable of Brown's albums.  Like the others, this was a one man project with Brown responsible for writing, performing and producing all 12 tracks.  It was also released on his own Destiny label with most copies being sold at his impromptu performances.  In addition to a priceless picture of Brown's homegrown multi-instrumental contraption, his considerable charms including a multi-octave voice, a knack for penning catchy (if goofy) songs (check out 'The Boy a Sailor' and 'Hawaii Net I'll Miss You', and a likeable counter-cultural outlook on life were all on display.  Musically the set sounded a little fuller and more sophisticated than the two earlier releases (perhaps a reflection of the fact it was recorded across nine separate studios).  The other difference I detected is Brown's mix of personal insight and social and political commentary shifted towards a more activist stance including commentary on animal rights ('If the Angels Cry'), environmental ('Sweet Clean Air'), social and political issues.  His voice certainly remained an amazing instrument, capable of replicating Beach Boys-styled harmonies and even turning in a wild Tony Joe White swamp rock segment (check out 'Jungle Cowboy'). Besides, how could you not get a charge out of somebody who was willing to dedicate an album to: "To the people that watched me ad-lib these songs into their shape on the street corners of the world, a lot of your energy went into helping me select and refine my music and message. To say something that tries to improve the condition of our world may come off as sounding preachy, but if the magic and your love can be found in my attempt, it comes off as right by me.  Thanks for thousands of perfect moments."
