Album Notes

Borrowing the words of legendary architect Philip Johnson, Wisely's music is best described as "strange and familiar". It's a combination of innovation and influence that makes his songwriting so stunning. Wisely began his musical journey in Minneapolis smitten with Simon & Garfunkel, The Beatles, Prince, and David Bowie. These iconoclastic influences spurred him to write, record and perform in his own exaggerated style, releasing in the late 90's two widely acclaimed CDs, "She" and "Turbosherbet". Wisely has also scored for film (Tromeo and Juliet), and acted: on stage (Lovelace The Musical, Cradle Will Rock), in film (Auto Focus), and on television (Six Feet Under). Now based in Los Angeles, he is currently writing with and music director for television's Andy Dick, and is recording his own next CD for Franklin Castle with producer Linus of Hollywood. In preparation for his new album, we present "Go!" -- a 12-song collection of our favorite tracks from Wisely's past catalog.
