For Fanfare, he is obviously inspired by the production techniques of that decade on both sides of the Atlantic. This is one of the most delightfully ornamented recordings to come down the pipe in quite some time. Its sound is so warm and inviting, it almost proves a distraction from the songs. Wilson’s guest list is impressive: David Crosby, Graham Nash, Jackson Browne, Benmont Tench, Mike Campbell, and others contribute. But mostly it’s Wilson: guitars, piano, drums, bass, mellotron, bells, synths, B-3, vocals, and more. Deciphering the musical trail on Fanfare is a hell of a lot of fun. The influence of Crosby’s If I Could Only remember My Name, CSN’s self-titled debut, CSNY’s Deja Vu, Stephen Stills’ first Manassas record, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, ELO’s Eldorado, Steely Dan’s Can’t Buy a Thrill, and numerous other recordings saturate this album’s pores. Yet, if Wilson weren’t capable of doing something new with his sources, the familiar would relegate it to the closet of nostalgia. As a songwriter, his ability to craft diverse, instantly attractive melodies, bridges, and hooks allows his songs to sit alongside those that inform them. Check the easy, driving country rock on “Love to Love,” the breezy folk-rock in “Moses Pain” heightened by Campbell’s guiding slide guitar, and Browne’s and Nash’s backing vocals that make it soar, and the shifting, crunchy rock slowness in “Illumination” for examples. Wilson’s ability as a producer is akin to Todd Rundgren’s: he can combine, arrange, and orchestrate his influences to create something new from the instantly familiar. This is evident in the opening title track where Baroque pop orchestrations (Eldorado) are wedded to Dark Side of the Moon’s spacey nocturnal tensions — dig James King’s wailing saxophone solo. “Dear Friend” and “Her Hair Is Growing Long” are sequentially suite-like in their collective nods to Woodstock, CSN’s self-titled debut, and the latter’s acknowledgement of the Beatles’ “Golden Slumbers” in the guitar break. Wilson’s lyric phrasing illustrates vivid images, all framed by inviting, self-styled textural nuances. Crosby’s and Nash’s vocal appearances on “Cecil Taylor” fit so seamlessly with his, the twilight, darkly lit melody almost breaks its frame. “Illumination” channels the pace and cadence of Neil Young’s Crazy Horse, but its lushness expands the plodding groove. Tench’s piano on the instrumental “Lovestrong” matches Wilson’s blistering David Gilmour-esque guitar break. Fanfare travels easily between intimacy and more psychedelic-influenced euphoria because Wilson’s songwriting remains his ace in the hole. For all its laid-back deference to his production, it’s tight, clever, and artfully constructed. Together they make for an album that will likely endure the test of time. ~ Thom Jurek Artist Jonathan Wilson Genre Rock And Pop Label Bella Union Buying Options 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Includes CD Format 2LP , Gatefold Sleeve , Includes CD Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Fanfare Dear Friend Her Hair Is Growing Long Love To Love Future Vision Moses Pain Cecil Taylor Illumination Desert Trip Fazon New Mexico Lovestrong Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jonathan Wilson View Product Quick View Jonathan Wilson Eat the Worm Rock And Pop | BMG Rights Management | 2LP Released 8th September 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jonathan Wilson Eat the Worm £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Rights Management SKU: 4050538912838 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 8th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jonathan Wilson Dixie Blur Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 6th March 2020 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jonathan Wilson Dixie Blur £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA995VX Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th March 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jonathan Wilson Rare Birds Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd March 2018 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jonathan Wilson Rare Birds £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA730V Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jonathan Wilson Rare Birds (Indies Only) Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 27th February 2018 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jonathan Wilson Rare Birds (Indies Only) £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA730VX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jonathan Wilson Gentle Spirit Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 16th August 2011 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jonathan Wilson Gentle Spirit £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLAV294 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th August 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jonathan Wilson Slide By Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released 25th November 2014 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jonathan Wilson Slide By £11.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA469V Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Jonathan Wilson Start again More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Neil Young Before And After Rock And Pop | Warner Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th February 2024 £30.00 -
