Producer Willie Wisely

lyrics

Face The Sun began as a series of chords played by producer John Fields (Jonas Brothers, Ben Rector, Cory Wong) designed to inspire world peace. But as Wisely's lyrics and melody came into focus, it was clear the song was talking about inner peace; tasting the extremes (good and bad) of a rich sensory and emotional life, and appreciating the journey in search of true LOVE.

ARTIST BIO:
Willie Wisely is that rare bird, mixing outsized stadium-rock showmanship with songs so lyrical, personal and true, you'll leave a concert feeling like you've got a new best friend. He is among the most distinctive songwriters of his generation, seasoning his talent with decades of touring, three tours to Japan, over eight studio albums; 18 years a resident of LA's songwriting bastion Laurel Canyon; composing indie film scores and even some unexpected appearances acting in TV and film. In 2018, Wisely returned to his native Twin Cities giving yet more time to his music and family, and to again be a part of one of the country's most richly artistic scenes.

In his four decades of music making and crowd play, Wisely has followed the muses of singer, guitarist, producer, songwriting collaborator, composer, and ever the clothes horse. His latest studio album "Face The Sun" produced by John Fields who crafted Wisely's 'start here' 90's albums "She" and "Turbosherbet", includes a Wisely-chosen cover of his favorite 60's obscurity, Jackie Lomax' “Fall Inside Your Eyes”.

In 2023, Wisely has released a surprise EP of playful and touching Christmas classics-to-be. Inspired by a whimsical promise years ago to write a song every holiday season for his kids, finally "Christmastide Dreams" bloomed into a five-flower poinsettia of an EP. Each track is a celebration of joy, love, family and of course, humor, the first of which features a duet sung with national treasure Davina Lozier (Davina & The Vagabonds).

Some pop songs are easily forgettable... not so, this album. There's a lot more here than a smooth voice... but lyrics that go straight to the marrow of your soul. Really worth a listen... and the few bucks to own a copy for yourself or a true friend. "Sweet Tooth Johnny" Wells
