Jon Wilcox: Song Traveler

2003 solo album from singer and guitar/mandolin/bouzouki player Wilcox, a long-time member of folk/bluegrass bands Marley's Ghost and Rincon Ramblers, featuring a cover of The Band's "Daniel and the Sacred Harp."

"Jon Wilcox' Song Traveler is a lovely mix of original songs, traditional songs and songs drawn from such disparate songwriters as Chuck Berry, Ewan MacColl, Robbie Robertson, Jean Ritchie and Merle Haggard. The album is a seamless set, united by Wilcox's sweet voice, and the very tasteful contributions of musicians like Orville Johnson, fellow Marley's Ghoster Ed Littlefield, Jr. and Van Dyke Parks. Laurie Lewis's lovely harmonies grace several songs including a gorgeous version of Haggard's 'Kern River.'"
