He is riveting! David Wilcox www.davidwilcox.com From Asheville, NC acoustic guitarist singer-songwriter David Wilcox has a rich resonating baritone voice full of deep vibration, and he plays an acoustic guitar alternately tuned in a fingerpicking and fingerstyle way that enhances the bass, and he often sings through a kick-drum mic which also enhances and captures the bass in his voice. VERY sexy, soothing rich sounds, with lyrics that are sometimes life changing when you read the underlying messages. His major themes seem to be comforting sorrow with hope and light, and he deals with relationship crises and turmoil; and his close-friend-like observations are often embracing. He sometimes attracts crossover Christian music fans because of his positive slant on coping with crises, but he has a way of warming even the darkest heart with his mostly secular storytelling. The words "God" and "Jesus" are never used. You are free to imply your own sense of positivity. An amazing tear-jerker of a songwriter, David Wilcox is mostly lauded for his big deep sounding acoustic guitar playing that employs a method of inventing your own open tunings so that you may get lost in them and find your way back home. He has published a variety of books and videos that teach his creative and open-minded guitarplaying techniques. As a guitarist, learning his style of writing is very freeing and other-worldly. He is very inspirational both lyrically and musically. For you hard-core death metal-favoring edgers, he might be just a wee little too "churchy" for you, but if you are sick of trite subjects and are looking for something VERY acoustic and very warm and rich sounding with lyrics that are theraputic, definitely check him out! His CD "Big Horizon" is on my desert island 10 list. I need to pick up his most recent titles! Thanks for the reminder.

I'll I did was try to start a little trouble and what do I get? Lists of all these great Male artists proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that men are far better song writers than women. But then I always said that Women should be running the world while we write and sing and sculpt and of course cook. (That should do it!

They have an interesting way of expressing a thought, feeling, story. Or just the way they phrase a line that can capture so much imagery or emotion that another artist might need to write a whole song to capture the same thing. As far as women, I think Kate Bush. ~ Riff "Don't just exist.

Ellis Paul (if you haven't seen or heard him run to the nearest concert or store and see him or get Ellis Paul Live. John Martyn (70's stuff is the best) Van Morrison (of course) Bruce Springsteen (double of course) Bob Dylan (the king of the singer songwriters) Gordon Lightfoot Jackson Browne Ian Hunter (his new cd is great) Jimmy Lafave (great cover artist) Neil Young Oh this is getting typical now. I will shut up. Steve ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V5 #177 *********************************
