Singer-songwriter Josh Wilson embodies a sense of refreshment in the genre—plenty of fun with enough thoughtfulness and sincerity to carry him through multiple formats. His latest, Trying to Fit the Ocean in a Cup (Sparrow), is a fine debut effort, and we felt it necessary to introduce him to you further. You’ll thank us later. CMCentral: Trying to describe a new singer-songwriter is hard given the overcrowding of the genre. So how do you describe your own place in that music scene? Josh Wilson: I know there are plenty of singer/songwriters out there, and there are definitely no new ideas, but there are new ways to approach age-old truths. My aim in songwriting is to find a new way to say something so that listeners can find a fresh perspective on something they've probably heard their whole lives.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - It seemed like an almost literal answer to their prayers. When two New Zealand pilots ran out of fuel in a microlight airplane they offered prayers and were able to make an emergency landing in a field — coming to rest right next to a sign reading, "Jesus is Lord."
Grant Stubbs and Owen Wilson, both from the town of Blenheim on the country's South Island, were flying up the sloping valley of Pelorus Sound when the engine spluttered, coughed and died.
"My friend and I are both Christians so our immediate reaction in a life-threatening situation was to ask for God's help," Stubbs told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
He said he prayed during the ill-fated flight Sunday that the tiny craft would get over the top of a ridge and that they would find a landing site that was not too steep — or in the nearby sea.
Wilson said that the pair would have been in deep trouble if the fuel had run out five minutes earlier.
"If it had to run out, that was the place to be," he said. "There was an instantaneous answer to prayer as we crossed the ridge and there was an airfield — I didn't know it existed till then."
After Wilson glided the powerless craft to a landing on the grassy strip, the pair noticed they were beside a 20-foot-tall sign that read, "Jesus is Lord — The Bible."
"When we saw that, we started laughing," Stubbs said.
Nearby residents provided them with gas to fly the home-built plane back to base. |
