A very enjoyable CD!
I enjoy all of the songs on this album. I can't say that about every CD and not even about every CD by some of my favorite artists. For those unfamiliar with David Wilcox, his music is built upon an acoustic guitar foundation in manner of James Taylor and some other artists who sort of straddle the folk and pop worlds. David Wilcox through his music and lyrics seems to want to honestly present a feeling or a situation in a moving or funny way. When this approach works, and it works often, you find yourself giving a knowing nod to the sentiment. David Wilcox has a distinctive voice and it is a pleasure to hear him sing. The music is nicely melodic although Wilcox has a style of phrasing which tends to make one song the cousin of other Wilcox songs. But, when the voice is familiar and pleasant, as with James Taylor, this is really not a problem. This is a relaxing and engaging CD. I don't know why Wilcox is not more popular, except that he probably appeals to a more mature audience with more refined taste. I recommend it.

WILCOX DOES WILCOX
LOT'S OF FELLA'S FOOL AROUND WITH A 6-STRING & SING A BIT. SOME EVEN WRITE A SONG OR TWO. THIS AINT' NO FOOLING-AROUND. DAVE IS THE REAL DEAL & HE CAN SHOW YOU WHY WITH 1 LISTEN OF THIS CD. LESS IS ALWAYS MORE!!! THIS IS BARENAKED, AND IT WILL GRAB YOU RIGHT FROM THE FIRST SOUND OF HIS GUITAR, & WHEN THAT VOICE KICKS IN....HOLD ON!!! IT'S BEEN MY PLEASURE TO HAVE SEEN DAVID LIVE SEVERAL TIMES ( HE IS A HUMAN JUKEBOX ) & YOU ALWAYS TAKE SOMETHING AWAY WI TH YOU AFTER ONE OF HIS SHOWS. SUCH IS THE CASE WITH "WHAT YOU WHISPERED", THE SONGS ARE CRAFTED & DELIVERED IN WAY THAT MAKES YOU FEEL HE IS PERFORMING FOR YOU, AND ONLY YOU. ALTHOUGH I ENJOYED HIS LAST CD (UNDERNEATH), IT WAS VERY COMPLEX AND YOU LOSE A LITTLE BIT WITH SO MUCH GOING ON. AS AN ARTIST GROWS THEY ALL SEEM TO EXPAND THE MUSIC (THIS IS NOT A BAD THING, WE DON'T WANT THE SAME CD EACH TIME), BUT ON "WHAT YOU WHISPERED" AS AN OLDER FAN I SEE HOW THE SONGS HAVE GROWN, ALONG WITH THE WAY THEY ARE PERFORMED. BUY THIS.....TODAY...YOU NEED IT....TRUST ME!!!!! BLINDBOYGRUNT61@AOL.COM

Homespun songs from the heart
I've been listening to the music of David Wilcox since the mid 80's when his song "Language of the Heart" was being played on a few daring stations. His voice, his acoustic guitar work, and especially his lyrics pulled me in immediately. The music world is full of overblown, untalented types who are manufactured into media stars. Thank God this artist hasn't become one of them. This latest CD is a spare, home production that showcases his guitar and his solo voice to great effect. Listen to the opening title song and try not to imagine yourself walking down a country road. The initial lyrics are obviously about his relationship with his wife but the final stanza becomes something different--a man on his deathbed recognizing the voice of God in his ear. Beautiful stuff!
The final song (a hidden track at the end) carries this message further by ruminating on the soul of a person looking for something transcendent in life. David Wilcox is a rarity--a Christian artist who doesn't write overt Christian lyrics but is attempting to reach all people who can relate to his words.
