previously unreleased, was the second of 16 tracks on the soundtrack released April 9, 1999. The album also featured songs from R.E.M., Jimmy Eat World, The Beach Boys and The Smiths. On Sept. 3, 1999, the band had their second Bumbershoot performance (the first was 1997), and on May 20 that year Seely played a solo show at the Tractor Tavern. Willis followed in 2000 with a five-song EP, Bourgeois Blues. Three of the songs, “Bourgeois Blues,” “Bad Day” and “Testimony,” would be released on Gravelled and Green. The other two, “Truckers' Lullaby” and “Sunshot Vistas,” were acoustic and only released by the band on the EP. The disc was released on the Collective Fruit label. Legal concerns were among reasons Willis changed its name in summer 2001. The previous year, the band met Silver Jews frontman David Berman at a San Francisco poetry showcase and, during their conversation, explained the name problem. He later sent a postcard that would inspire their new name, the Actual Tigers. Willis' final performance was at 8 p.m. June 8, 2001, at the Experience Music Project's Sky Church. The second set was billed as the Actual Tigers; the first set was Willis and concluded with “Broccoli McGee.” Cullen, an Ireland native, played the last notes on an Irish tin whistle. Gravelled and Green was recorded at the time, but wasn't released until July 17, 2001 on Nettwerk America, Sarah McLachlan's record label. The band followed with a July 20 show at The Showbox across from the Pike Place Market in Seattle.
