PFR "Live"
PFR Live. Professionally recorded. I could not find that this was still available anywhere from the band. Their "official" page is a facebook page, and the music link are dead.
Patrick Andrew "There And Then It's Gone"
Formerly the bassist/vocalist for the group PFR. His only solo effort of which I am aware.
(sorry for the small picture, it's the only one I could find)

Kyle Henderson "More Than The Look Of Love"
Kyle Henderson, bassist and vocalist for the 80's group The Producers, made the switch to CCM for this LP. Kyle has commented publicly that this was a horrible experience for him cutting this album. He specifically hated the production values and felt they were at least 10 years behind the times. I tend to agree with his assessment of the production style. The production, as in a lot of CCM at that time, really toned down the "rockier" aspects of the songs to make it more palatable to the Christian market. However, the songwriting and singing from Kyle is top notch. I'd love to hear these songs re-done.
