I’m committed to supporting and writing about the music of David Wilcox. At times I find his music a little too sensitive and refined. But then again his voice is a wonderful instrument, his guitar playing as good as any other singer songwriter, and his songs often a marvel of simplicity and honesty.

So when something new comes up I usually get to it asap. David’s new record on What Are Records? is called Open Hand. David and his band recorded it mostly live in the studio and put it on analog tape (no pro tools or studio witchcraft). The results are organic and warm. If you have room in your heart for James Taylor or even Jack Johnson I’d encourage you to check out the songs of David Wilcox. Buy it here. Two songs from the new record:

Red Eye
Open Hand

Bonus back catalog:

If It Wasn’t For The Night
We Have A Dream Again

Music Fest 2006 documentary
