Acclaimed artist/producer Jonathan Wilson has announced select spring tour dates in support of his upcoming new album Dixie Blur (BMG/Bella Union). The highly anticipated new collection will be released on March 6th and features Wilson’s most personal and fully realized work to date. See full list of dates below.
Listen below to the recently released single “In Heaven Making Love”. Wilson says of the song, “I wanted to write a song about a perfect evening, something worth remembering. A song about carrying letters of rock & roll freedom all over the world.” He adds, “SO happy to share this new music with Cousin Kenny Vaughn taking that sweet guitar break and the legend Mark O’ Connor playing that fiddle solo. I remember the moment clear as a bell.”
For Dixie Blur, the North Carolina-bred, Los Angeles-based Wilson chose to go to Nashville and work with co-producer Pat Sansone of Wilco at Cowboy Jack Clement’s legendary Sound Emporium Studio. He recorded live in the studio with a personal wish list of players that included Mark O’Connor (fiddle), Kenny Vaughan (guitar) Dennis Crouch (bass), Russ Pahl (pedal steel), Jim Hoke (harmonica, woodwinds), Jon Radford (drums), and Drew Erickson (keyboards).
