Jason Wilber’s latest record, Time Traveler, plays like a radio signal from a distant outpost. It's folk music from the future, with themes at once timely and timeless. Wilber strums stories from space stations and post-apocalyptic bunkers, alongside parables that ponder the truths and mysteries we all encounter in our lives. He's had plenty of time to dream up the fantastic journeys that race through these songs. For the last 24 years (and counting), Wilber's logged countless hours gazing out the windows of planes, trains, busses, and cars while on the road with country/folk icon John Prine.
In Wilber’s multi-decade journey with Prine, the Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer has graced stages from the Grand Ole Opry to Austin City Limits, Seth Myers & Conan to Letterman & Colbert. And he’s been a key player in high-profile collaborations with a host of legends including Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Todd Snider, Tom Russell, Miranda Lambert, Susan Tedeschi, Josh Ritter, Kacey Musgraves & more.
Simplicity and honesty are key ingredients on Time Traveler. The tracks have a decidedly warm, acoustic, almost '60's singer-songwriter feel. Acoustic instruments are layered with subtle vocal harmonies. Paul Mahern's deft production gives a rich analog depth to the tracks. The final effect is stark but elegant, falling somewhere along a spectrum between Peter Rowan, Josh Ritter, and a less melancholy Nick Drake.
