Jonathan Wilson

Desert Raven

Sounds like: Chris Bathgate, Neil Young, Vetiver, Other Lives
Jonathan Wilson's "Desert Raven," a single from his recently released solo album Gentle Spirit, is a wandering, psychedelic folk track that sounds like the ghost of Neil Young.After a lengthly intro, Jonathan Wilson's soft, luxurious voice kicks in. The song is a tribute to the dusty 60s folk rock that makes you want to lay in a hammock and watch the clouds overhead.According to a press release, "Gentle Spirit has been circulating underground on sharpie-labeled CDRs through the hands of a select few members of his friends and family. This hand-to-hand virality has created a certain mystique about the album in a manner consistent with its, and the artist's, character and ideals."
