T-Shirt/Apparel + Digital Album
Based on the exclaimed lyric from "True's" 'National Council of Jewish Women's Thrift Store'. This soft, stretchy cotton tee is totally hip, with a unique heathered, moss-green shirt. Designed by my favorite eccentric John Berry.

I’m a man named Mule without a home
The river gives me two directions known
I’m a man named Mule without a queen
I’d raft upstream to find your swarthy dream
I have seen the skies turning green
Clouds run blue, sun and moon disagree
Brine meets blue, out there on that horize
No point on which to fix my Mississippi eyes
I have seen your ship out on the rise
It comes so near then sinks below the skies
So I followed you to Cairo Illinois
You knew this man and gave him mooring lines
I have seen the skies turning green
Clouds run blue, sun and moon disagree
Brine meets blue, out there on that horize
No point on which to fix my Mississippi eyes
I can see the day I broke my knees
Two feet towards the town two towards the trees
I’m a man named Mule without a queen
They’ll drag the riverbed for my remains
I have seen the skies turning green
Clouds run blue, sun and moon disagree
Brine meets blue, out there on that horize
No point on which to fix my Mississippi eyes

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
Kelly Jones & I sing lead vocals on this fascinating popster album by Steven Fox, w/Linus of Hollywood, Roger Joseph Manning Jr, and others. BLOG POST ABOUT THE SESSIONS ~ http://bit.ly/WWSecretFriend Willie Wisely
Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL
