Acoustic Alternatives with David Wilcox and John Bommarito
Manage episode 515753299 series 2953470
David's first album, The Nightshift Watchman, came out independently in 1987. In 1989 he made his major label debut on A&M Records with How Did You Find Me Here, which included modern folk classics that he still plays in his sets 35+ years later ("Eye of the Hurricane" & "Rusty Old American Dream").
Ask a handful of younger modern folk singers and no doubt some of them will cite David's playing and/or writing as an influence on what they are doing.
It was a pleasure to chat with David again as he has just put out his best album in many years, The Way I Tell The Story. Hear some of the story in this visit as well as two songs not on any record yet.
Bonus! The old Acoustic Alternatives WHFR show intro and the classic ann arbor's 107one show ID.
Songs written by David Wilcox:
"I'm From Nowhere"
