Josh Wilson’s lucky or talented, but the latter is more likely the case. After all, he bit off what initially seems to be more than he can handle on his Sparrow debut, Trying to Fit The Ocean in a Cup. The acoustic pop pool he chose to wade into is already overcrowded and, on the surface, his songs conjure thoughts of “more of the same.”

But four minutes later, you’re still listening. Not only that, you’re completely drawn in. Wilson croons, charms, inspires and moves his way into your heart via the ear that quickly. Instead of being overwhelmed, Josh Wilson debuts as the “new guy” who makes everyone else jealous for his grand entrance.
