Singer / Songwriter / Multi-instrumentalist / Producer / slash whatever else he does Jonathan Wilson is one of those eclectic guys that seems to stay beneath the radar but has his hands in a whole bunch of honey pots. Excited to hear it, Bella Union Records is just released Jonathan Wilson’s debut solo album, *Gentle Spirit*, on Tuesday, September 13.

The first single from the record, “Desert Raven,” a sprawling, 8 minute epic dusty psych journey which blends of folk, country, rock and roll, psychedelia and pop elements all to create a sense of time and place & maybe space. Its got a classic, timeless almost Steely Dan feel to it.

While writing and recording in Laurel Canyon, CA “Gentle Spirit”, Wilson admits he “ was consciously trying to hit, ‘dreary day in the canyon,’ that was the original concept,” and that’s entirely what Wilson achieved here. Its a bit spaced out, its long, a bit arduous but in the end very gratifying. Its a music lovers piece that is well worth 10 minutes.

Give Desert Raven a listen, and do yourself a favor and buy [Gentle Spirit](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EX4DAG/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=musisava-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B005EX4DAG&ref=musicsavage.com)![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=1&a=B005EX4DAG&camp=217145&creative=399373)
