Before the breakup [of Green On Red], Prophet laid the foundation for a solo career, recording his 1990 debut album Brother Aldo on a whim for around $800. “I think that’s what it cost, or maybe I read that somewhere,” recalled Prophet. “Green On Red was in escrow of sorts. I’d been kicking those songs around on stage with Stephanie Finch in the growing underground scene (or ghetto) here in town that included American Music Club, Penelope Houston, Steve Yerkey, Bone Cootes and others. We hijacked the back room of our favorite watering hole for some acoustic gigs and after a while, I just wanted to get those songs out of my head….” Afterwards, Prophet’s tape fell into the hands of Fire Records, which, upon hearing the session, wanted to release the album “as is.” (MusicianGuide)
