In the City is the new musical project from Mick Hellman, one of the tracks on the fresh release from his musical project Highway Wolf. Purdie’s Dream promises to be a unique sonic experience that takes classics and puts a fresh new spin on that music, building something beautiful and innovative. The tracks are sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt called to something higher and has tried to answer that call.
Highway Wolf was constructed and led by Mick Hellman and his two creative partners, Tal and Amber Morris. The results are impressive. This is an album that reflects the human experience through the image of the Highway Wolf and the deeply relatable sense of longing that is linked to this idea and this concept.
Mick is a fan of 70’s music, and this is a clear influence on his work. There is a strong retro vibe and a groove that hooks listeners from the start and all the way through.
When the artist was in high school, he began getting into music, enjoying all kinds of tracks and songs. He first developed a feel for the drums during this time and would practice with his friends on a home drum kit. As an adult, his kids would pick up the same love for music, leading Mick to rediscover his. In the pandemic, he got the opportunity to practice and then turn music into something of a professional pursuit.
In the City is the latest single from Purdie’s Dream, coming out in the fall. This is a cover and a unique take on the hit from the classic band Eagles that considers the experience of going through the city and exploring a landscape that is full of noise and life. It is an exploration of the bustling city, with its challenges and its pains.
In the City comes with a charmingly animated music video made by Josh Clark. The video follows Purdie, Mick’s own pup, as he tries to navigate the city and has dreams of becoming a wolf, a city wolf. The video adds a new layer to this song and creates new meanings. It also reflects the title of the upcoming EP, Purdie’s Dream, adding more to the stories. For Mick, the single is a tale about struggling in the big city.
