Jim continues to expand his ambitious eclectic musical blend on CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. He has crafted another album of catchy, heartfelt melodies plus another instrumental cover version, this time of Steve Winwood’s 1969 Blind Faith classic, “Can’t Find My Way Home”. The album comes with two versions, a haunting piano-guitar-sax trio recording and an expanded radio mix that includes percussion. There are two songs with vocals — “Donna Lynn” with singer Stephen Bishop (best-known for his big hit “On and On”) and “Picasso’s Midnight Stroll” with ethereal wordless vocals by Dan Fogelberg, Wilson and Casey Stratton (who also adds gossamer background vocals on “Cape of Good Hope” and “Discovery”). 　　 　　Other tunes include the Celtic-tinged “Susanna,”” ‘Til I See You Again” and “More and More”. There’s also the quietly jazzy “Friend” highlighted by a David Sanborn sax solo. The album kicks off with a tour de force, the title track, named after the southern tip of Africa where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet with violent currents that claimed many sailors lives. Wilson says the song and album are dedicated “to the spirit of voyaging into the unknown in the quest for a better life. The song has a special meaning for me as a metaphor for the triumph of making it to the other side after confronting your fears.” 　　 　　According to Jim, “Discovery” was written “to celebrate the spirit of adventure and is dedicated to man’s quest for flight.” “Picasso’s Midnight Stroll” is the soundtrack for a visual adventure imagining what the painter would see walking the streets of Paris under a full moon. “Home in the Heartland” is Jim’s tribute to his Texas childhood. 　　 　　“There’s nothing that compares to those amazing sunsets, or the massive thunderclouds rolling through on a hot summer day, or those bonfires and hayrides out on the farm,” according to Wilson. 　　 　　The sheet music of the piano solos (with guitar chords) for ALL the songs on Jim’s best-selling classic, “Cape of Good Hope”, including the title cut, Discovery, Picasso’s Midnight Stroll and Donna Lynn. 　　 　　“…an album of catchy, heartfelt original melodies… Wilson creates a soothing musical experience that captures and inspires the soul, weaving a delicate tapestry of Celtic, folk, pop, and classical influences.” ~ Music Tracks; Accent On Tampa Bay
