    Pravda Records' extra-tall album release poster (30" x 13") sent to clubs and record stores in 1994. Very few left. Full color glossy. Album cover design by John Berry (an adaptation of a drawing by Aubrey Beardsley), picturing the chaos that often surrounded Trio shows ;^). Photos of the band performing live at The Middle East, Cambridge, MA 1993 by Thomas Lingner (The Able Lens). Layout by Sheila Sachs. Tag line is a regrettable inside joke from the band's extensive tours of this era. Fan mail not included. Willie's autograph by request.

lyrics

Feed me with a fever
Eat though I can’t take a bite
Cook for two like you used to do
Make me think that I’m alive

Laugh at me with feeling
Laugh though I can’t slap my thigh
Smile away like you used to do
Make me think that I’m alive

Love me with more feeling
Wrap your legs around this corpse
Love me for the last time in my life
Make me think that I’m alive

Squeeze me with more feeling
Wrap your legs around this corpse
Love me for the last time in my life
Make me think that I’m alive
Make me think that I’m alive
Make me think that I’m alive
Make me think that I’m alive

Willie Wisely Saint Paul, Minnesota

Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon resident/devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing profound power pop with arena-sized showmanship, a troubadour on an all night rave up, a cold kombucha on a hot California day, a McCartney-ite taking a break from his Japanese import of “Ram” for a quick Canyon run listening to João Gilberto. ... more
