Скачать или смотреть Through Any Window: The Mellow Side of Willie Wisely

"Something I've been dreaming about for years finally became a reality: an album of only my mellowest songs from across the decades. It's called Through Any Window. These are the tunes my heart tends to play at 2am, when it’s just me and a guitar, seeking some peace before falling to sleep. It was during the decades of touring solo, when I had to invent detailed and unique arrangements on the guitar for each song, to keep the set dynamic. In the absence of a band, my fingers had to be drums, bass, guitar and even piano all in one. Each song became a sort of gem to me, in its own style. So now at over 45 years of songwriting and 8 studio albums, there’s a very meaningful collection of polished stones I want to share with YOU. Please press play and enjoy, and if you are so moved, like, follow and save to your collection! And as ever happy to receive your comments and thoughts." - Willie Wisely

:: Willie Wisely is that rare bird, mixing outsized stadium-rock showmanship with songs so lyrical, personal and true, you'll leave the show feeling like you've got a new best friend. He is among the most distinctive songwriters of his generation, with decades of indie touring that season every note. He’s taken several jaunts to Japan, gigged in the UK, France and across Canada; recorded eight studio albums, and released an even deeper well of side projects and curio albums.

As befitting a songwriter, Wisely resided for decades in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles' musician refuge; playing gigs, co-writing, composing indie film scores and even occasionally crawling down the hill to Hollywood for unexpected appearances acting in TV, theater and in films you've likely seen. In 2018, he returned to his native Twin Cities, to give yet more time to his music and family, and to again be a part of one of the country's most celebrated and richly artistic scenes: Minneapolis.

In his four decades of music making and crowd play, Wisely has followed many muses, including that of the eternal clothes horse and LP crate digger. The interior walls of his home are warmed by the fashionable textiles, zipper boots and vinyl LP stacks of era's gone by. And his latest studio album "Face The Sun" feels it all. Produced by John Fields (who crafted Wisely's career-launching 90's albums "She" and "Turbosherbet"), the album includes Willie's snappiest pop songs, along side his deepest bows ever to the 70's balladry of Harry Nilsson and Eric Carmen, notably in the track "I Can't Sleep". Also, don't miss the album's sensual wisely-chosen cover, “Fall Inside Your Eyes,” long Willie's favorite 60's obscurity by the little know Beatles acolyte Jackie Lomax.

Willie is a discoverer. Join your new best friend on the trip together. New album coming 2026.
