Wilson’s new album is already receiving well deserved glowing reviews. The songs on it are meticulously crafted, produced and ambitiously cinematic. One hears echoes of classic rock – Traffic, Pink Floyd, CS&N (Crosby, Stills & Nash), ELO, and yes, even early Supertramp. The songs are long and sweeping and showcase a level of excellence in artistry and craft missing from so much of today’s modern music. While it evokes rock and roll’s classic past, it’s completely refreshing to listen to. It’s tomorrow’s classic rock today. The album features contributions from David Crosby , Graham Nash , Jackson Browne , Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench (from Tom Petty and The Hearbreakers,), Father John Misty, Taylor Goldsmith (lead singer/guitarist of Dawes), Wilco’s Patrick Sansone and Roy Harper.
