LISTEN HERE TO LIVELY NEW SINGLE
IN HEAVEN MAKING LOVE

ON TOUR THIS SPRING
WITH TORONTO SHOW ON MARCH 10

Toronto, ON – January 15, 2020 – 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 6 and features Wilson’s most personal and fully realized work to date. See full list of dates below, including a stop in Toronto on March 10.

Listen to the recently released single, In Heaven Making Love, here. 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).

The results are incredible. Just listen to the tracks So Alive and Korean Tea to get a feel for Wilson’s vision, Watch the video for 69 Corvette, featuring in-studio footage and home movies from Wilson’s youth, that feed the longing for home narrative that runs throughout Dixie Blur. 

While Jonathan Wilson may not be a name immediately recognized in mainstream pop culture, chances are that the multi-talented artist’s work has crossed your path. As a producer, Wilson has worked with artists including Father John Misty, Conor Oberst,  Laura Marling and Dawes. As a musician, he has appeared on albums by artists ranging from Jackson Browne to Karen Elson to Roger Waters. Wilson was also musical director, guitarist and vocalist on Waters’ epic US+THEM tour. As a solo artist, Wilson has released Gentle Spirit (2011), Fanfare (2013) and Rare Birds (2018), where he played nearly every instrument. On top of all of that, he is even a gifted luthier. There seems to be no limitation to what this modern renaissance artist is capable of.

Dixie Blur is available for pre-order now on digital, CD and double 180 gram color LP in die cut gatefold jacket with silver foil, double print dust sleeves and 15-page lyric booklet.  Pre-order the album here.
