David Wilcox returns with his first album in four years “The View From The Edge”

Those who know David Wilcox’s work know how exhaustively he pours his heart and soul into his songwriting and recording. It’s his technical ability and meticulous craftsmanship that elevate this work, as he employs an impressive repertoire of tunings and cut capos in his unique approach to the guitar. More than anything, however, it is the intimate storytelling and the deeply held messages of Wilcox’s lyrics that are taken to heart and held so closely by his listeners. The beloved singer-songwriter returns with The View From the Edge, his first album since 2014’s Blaze. It’s an album that reflects four years of thinking, writing, crafting, playing and life.

Considered a ‘songwriter’s songwriter’, David’s songs have been covered by artists such as kd lang and many others. In addition to his writing prowess, his skills as a performer and storyteller are unmatched.  He holds audiences rapt with nothing more than a single guitar, thoroughly written songs, a fearless ability to mine the depths of human emotions of joy, sorrow and everything in between, and all tempered by a quick and wry wit.

Reflecting on well over 20 years of record-making and touring extensively around the US and world, Wilcox says, “Music still stretches out before me like the head-lights of a car into the night.  It’s way beyond where I am, but it shows where I’m going.  I used to think that my goal was to catch up, but now I’m grateful that the music is always going to be way out in front to inspire me.”
