Fanfare is a Rock album by Jonathan Wilson, originally released in 2013. On Gatefold: 9 pressings tracked.
About
Like its predecessor, <i>Gentle Spirit</i>, <i>Fanfare</i> is a love letter to Wilson's longhaired, denim-clad countercultural heroes of the early '70s. In fact, some of them (David Crosby, Graham Nash, Jackson Browne) appear on the album, and others (U.K. folk-rock legend Roy Harper) contribute to the songwriting. Recorded on analog gear—which channels the spirit of the aforementioned artists and the whole post-psychedelic hippie zeitgeist—and clocking in at 78 minutes, <i>Fanfare</i> is the ultimate headphone album for the modern era. While the multitalented Wilson played all the instruments on some tracks, everything here has an organic vibe; you can feel the air in the room where the record was made. As Wilson hops from orchestral majesty (the title track) to Crosby-esque folk ("Her Hair Is Growing Long"), sunny roots rock ("Love to Love"), and epic art rock ("Lovestrong"), he displays not only his passion for the sounds of the '70s but his mastery of them.
