Glenn Mercer s first-ever solo album Wheels In Motion seems to come at a time when other influential artists are busy reuniting and reconnecting with past material. But former lead singer, guitarist & composer of the highly influential band The Feelies chooses another path by delivering a hypnotic, highly melodic and often reflective album. After a 5-year hiatus from his last recording project Wake Ooloo, Glenn seems re-energized, re-focused and not afraid to lead us through his personal journey while showing us his influence by artists he knows, respects and admires such as Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan & Luna. Performers on the record include ex-Feelies: Stan Demeski, Vinny DeNunzio, Dave Weckerman, Anton Fier (all played drums on various tracks) and Brenda Sauter (bass). The album (nominally co-produced by R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck) The disc concludes with a wonderful melding of two George Harrison songs: Within You, Without You and Love You To (a not surprising cover choice considering that the Feelies recorded several Beatles tunes during their lifetime). El disco trae como sorpresa final una canción oculta: una versión del “Sunday Morning” de The Velvet Underground
