Lee Fields & The Expressions: Faithful Man Album
Lee Fields & The Expressions “Faithful Man” from Yours Truly on Vimeo.
“Lee Fields doesn’t mess around. On Faithful Man, his first album since 2009′s acclaimed My World, it takes the veteran soul man just eight seconds to hit peak intensity. “I’ve always been a faithful man, till you came along,” he pleads against a tense “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World”-style groove. His voice filled with apocalyptic dread because he knows he’s powerless against temptation, but he also knows that giving in will change his life forever. It’s classic soul conundrum – and these days, nobody does classic soul better than Lee Fields.”

Fashion’s First Supergroup
GQ Article –
Hitmaker Pharrell Williams and menswear’s most talked-about designer, Mark McNairy, have joined forces for this season’s buzziest new label, Bee Line for Billionaire Boys Club. Streetwear may never fit the same way again. Here, in an exclusive shoot, the duo wear—and discuss—the debut collection
Making the Band
Mark McNairy:
“I always liked what Pharrell did with Billionaire Boys Club—it’s like preppy streetwear. We started by collaborating on one shoe. We talked about doing clothes, and eventually it evolved into a full made-in-the-U.S.A. collection.”
The Line Between Streetwear and Menswear
McNairy: “In my head, there is no line.”
Pharrell: “I don’t know lines. I understand the concept, but it’s just not fun to work inside a box.”
Working with Pharrell
McNairy: “I came in confident. Then I started hearing how picky Pharrell is, so I got a little nervous. We had our initial meetings and decided what the direction should be. When I took all the prototypes to Miami, he loved everything.”
Working with McNasty
Pharrell: “He’s very quirky and a quiet guy, but also funny as hell. Within all that quirkiness, he’s very confident. The man just clicks.”
Southern Players
Pharrell: “Mark has learned a lot along the way, but his mentality is still North Carolina. I like the way he just crashes shit together.”
McNairy: “Pharrell’s basically a southern gentleman. I bet Virginia Beach isn’t that different from Greensboro.”
The One Piece That Says It All
McNairy: “It’s definitely the gold- and silver-sleeve varsity jackets. I was in the factory and saw a metallic scrap on the floor. I ran to 35th Street, bought the leather, and bam.”

Out the back!!!
This photo reminds me of the days surfing when a big swell was on and the first surfer to see a HUGE set coming in would yell ‘Out the baaackk!!’ and the rest of us would paddle as hard as we could to get under it before it broke.
