Twenty-nine years after his last album of new music in the U.S., 1979′s incredible LP The Sojourner, Augusta singer-songwriter Larry Jon Wilson is set to release a self-titled CD of new tunes stateside June 23rd on indie label Drag City Records.

Originally released June 20, 2008 on the Phantom Sound & Vision label and available only via import here in the states, Larry Jon Wilson will finally get officially released on the same soil that Wilson calls home.  Fans on both sides of the Atlantic will no doubt be pleased with this release in all its bare-bones live glory.  This is how Wilson is best.  Relaxed and in front of the mic. 

Recorded over a mere seven days on the 15th floor of the Mirabella in Perido Key, Florida in June 2007, Larry Jon Wilsonis a collection of first take live recordings taken over a few days of story telling and playing in a studio / condo overlooking the Florida shoreline with Jake Housh picking the appropriate moments to record.
