Recorded with Grammy-winning producer Kevin McKendree and long-time members of John Prine’s band, including Jason Wilber on guitar, Wishes Never Gone marks a new chapter in Dean Mueller's journey as a solo artist. The album blends Americana, folk, and blues into a collection of songs that showcase Dean’s signature blend of soul-stirring lyrics, honest storytelling, and musical versatility.
“Wishes Never Gone is a very personal album for me,” says Dean Mueller. “Working with Kevin McKendree and John Prine's band members brought an incredible energy to these tracks. This album is about reflecting on where I've been, embracing vulnerability, and holding on to the dreams that have always guided me.”
Drawing inspiration from his musical hero John Prine, Dean's songs capture life’s ups and downs with warmth, humor, and a touch of nostalgia. His latest singles, "I Don’t Live There Anymore" and "Believe," have already gained momentum on streaming platforms, resonating with fans for their authenticity and relatability. The playful "Fireflies" and the impactful message of "Teach No Lies" highlight the album's diverse themes, ranging from personal transformation to confronting social issues.
