Dixie Blur was cut in only 6 days with a cast of top notch session musicians from Nashville that gives the album an organic feel. It’s Americana music with song arrangements that would have been at home on some of Elton John’s 1970’s era classics. It has this folksy, melancholy sense to it and it sounds like it was recorded sepia tones.

Thematically, there is a lot of nostalgia on this album. It’s almost like each song capturing a snapshot of a memory and the feeling associated with it. Of course, it’s Jonathan Wilson’s memories but it’s never so specific that it has to be his and his only. It’s the feelings that come along with the memories. And so, it’s melancholy in that way that nostalgia always is, and it’s joyful in that way that nostalgia often is.
