Lily Wilson's album "The Right Time" shows just why I love having her lend her talents to my work. She is an incredibly accomplished artist. The duet she sings with Philip makes me crazy, I love it. - Melissa Etheridge
"Hola. Muchas gracias por enviarme los CDs. Son estupendos, y perfectos para el programa. Te aseguro que los voy a programar. Un saludo cordial"
- J.L. Bueno - "La Otra Musica" Radio in Cadiz, Spain
Her voice is pure and soars in a down-home manner not unlike Emmylou Harris... it's the beautiful expressive vocals that shape and dominate her music.

This lady got skillz!
Pure, raw unadulterated talent in bucketfulls. I can't wait to hear her on my radio. I feel priveleged to have had the opportunity to do a review for her! Heartfelt emotion flows from her like rivers and anyone who hears this lady's music will definitely know where I'm coming from.
I have to admit I'm not truly a folk/country pop lover, however Lily Wilson has achieved the one thing all artists are fighting to achieve. The true crossover sound...
In spanish or english her sexy voice will have the gentlemen crooning her tunes and the ladies will be right beside them singing along. Hot! Hot! Hot!
Ask me and I'd have to say Lily Wilson is the full monte, the complete package exactly what true music lovers need. Look out Sarah Mclaughlin!!! Rock on baby!

"'Stargazer' is simply a beautiful album with a soft, but compelling veneer of love and anguish wrapped around lyrics that are well worth a listen. we put this CD on in the Napa Valley Life office, and had one of those moments where suddenly everyone in the room stops at the same time and looks at the CD player and asks , "Who is that? It's great!" - Napa Valley Life Magazine

Bio
Lily Wilson grew up on a ranch in an isolated valley near Napa, California, where her family grows wine grapes. Her nearest neighbor was three miles away, and she spent most of her time exploring the countryside, listening to music and teaching herself to sing and play. She found inspiration in the records her parents played by artists like Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, The Beatles, and Janis Joplin.
Her career in music started when Lily moved to Spain at nineteen. While there she was drawn to the Flamenco music being played in the gypsy caves above the city, and also to the Moroccan music she heard in her neighborhood in Granada. She played and sang solo and in bands, on street corners, tea shops, and bars all over Andalusia.
Her first CD, Winter Song, was recorded in Hawaii, where she spent a year writing and recording with White Termite Records, an independent label on Maui. During this time, she collaborated with Adam Seymour, guitarist for The Pretenders, and with Susie Hug, lead-singer of the Katydids, who both helped produce and played on the record.
She then moved to Los Angeles, where she wrote and recorded her second, self-titled C.D. with producer/ slack-key guitarist, Jim West (Westernmost Music.)
Lily’s recent solo travels through Chile and Argentina for three months with a backpacking guitar and lots of journals provided the inspiration for the 12 new songs (two in Spanish) which make up her third CD, “Stargazer,” recorded in L.A. with producer/ Melissa Etheridge bassist, Mark Browne.
Now based in Los Angeles, Lily performs locally and all over the country; and continues to write and record with Mark Browne. She has also been lending her voice to other artisits’ projects, and has sung with Dolly Parton, Bonnie Raitt, Alison Krauss, Kenny Loggins, Patty Griffin and Melissa Etheridge. Lily recently won the L.A. Music Awards "Female Vocal of the Year" in the AC category.
