Watch: Jonathan Wilson – Ballad Of The Pines (Best Fit Session)

Scratch just the surface of Jonathan Wilson’s Gentle Spirit and a rich musical tapestry is revealed, hewn with the halcyon spirit of Laurel Canyon’s greatest.

Wilson’s no imitator though – there’s a lustrous twenty-first century vision that permeates the record and ‘Ballad Of The Pines’ is perhaps the finest example of a modern singer-songwriter looking back in order to find their way forward. Before his biggest London show to date – at The Scala – we sat down with Jonathan for a perfectly beautiful take on that particular track.
