Sounds Like
Strings Magazine, January 2009. Album review. “Nobody Does It Better”: Love Songs of Our Generation. "Wilson uses the uniquely grainy sound of his violin to create a series of insinuating, bittersweet, and anti-sentimental moods that magically find the emotional center of each tune. It’s reminiscent of a style from a different era, one that we may have too casually dismissed, when cool really meant laid back and low-key....Hearing this CD is a reminder that the masters of that era were superb musicians in just the way Old Blue Eyes was, when singing encores in a smoke-filled lounge late at night, knowing that his audience was falling in love. ...The audiophile-quality sound expertly mixes the instruments without losing Wilson’s expressive sound among the shimmering cymbals or the velvet bass. ...The last of the ten tracks on the disc says it all: “Nobody Does It Better”. " Laurence Vittes
