Jonathan Wilson returns with Fanfare, an epic, grandiose and highly ambitious production that builds upon the success of his Bella Union debut. It takes his laurel canyon song craft into epic territory. As an obscenely talented multi-instrumentalist, only the best collaborators would do for the follow-up to 2011's Gentle Spirit. Made in Los Angeles over nine months and featuring contributions from the likes of Graham Nash, David Crosby, Jackson Browne, Josh Tillman (aka Father John Misty), Wilco's Patrick Sansone, Dawes' Taylor Goldsmith and Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench from Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, when you've got friends like these, who needs session musicians.
