"True" - Willie Wisely Trio

Be sure to leave your comment!! After 14 years apart the four original members of the Willie Wisely Trio reunite at Flowers Studio in Minneapolis, with Ed Ackerson producing. Ed did sound at our first gigs in 1989.

This is the title track for the new record, that speaks to our years together on the road and the indelible friendships and chemistry that have arisen from years spent in a rust-colored 1983 Dodge van (original color unknown).

Peter Anderson -- drums
James Voss - Upright bass
WIllie Wisely - vocals/guitar
Greg Wold - trombone
with Robert Russell - sax

Produced by Willie Wisely & Ed Ackerson
Mixed by Chuck Zwicky

LYRICS
It's a short walk down past sidewalk café
Where the green line connects with blue
It's hard work singing for strangers all day
But I do

If my song is good
And my rent's past due
Be the echo and ring
True

It's a long day under the city of drones
But the heat lifts when trains speed by
And I can't hear the string I just played with my thumb
But I try

If my song is real
My weary tune
Be the echo and ring
True, True

My song is good
You can sing it too
Be the echo and ring
True, True, True

Good song (couldn't quite make out all the words to the chorus?). I liked the production as well. Don't get to hear much trombone these days!
