"Jon Wilcox's Song Traveler is a lovely mix of original songs, traditional songs and songs drawn from such disparate songwriters as Chuck Berry, Ewan MacColl, Robbie Robertson, Jean Ritchie and Merle Haggard. ...The album is a seamless set, united by Wilcox's sweet voice, and the very tasteful contributions of musicians like Orville Johnson, fellow Marley's Ghoster Ed Littlefield, Jr. and Van Dyke Parks. Laurie Lewis's lovely harmonies grace several songs including a gorgeous version of Haggard's 'Kern River.'" – MR, Sing Out, Summer 2003

Not Just Folk: Folk - and - then musician Jon Wilcox is a Santa Barbara native with countless songs in his heart and notable bands on his resume, including Marley's Ghost and the Rincon Ramblers. Now comes a wonderful solo debut, Still Life, a rich song set that can be touching and socio - historical (the waltz "Antietam") and giddy (the title track). Wilcox sings with an assured, brushed leather voice, and possesses a good sense of how to mix folk, soul, and C & W instincts into a happy whole. He also shows the good taste of including ample slide guitars in the mix, with Sally Van Meter playing sweetly on dobro, Ed Littlefield Jr. supplying dreamy washes of pedal steel, among other glissando - happy tones. Other guests include Phil Salazar on fiddle and Leslie King on harmony vocals. The album closes with a sad - funny shrug of a tune, "My George Jones Imitation," about the increasing relevancy of Jones's glum twang in a life turning sour. -Montecito Journal
