Springsteen and Wilcox
You know it's a good week when you check the mail and find folk disks from both Bruce Springsteen and David Wilcox. I've added a couple of the tracks from each to the Online Folk Festival.
The new Bruce Springsteen disk, We Shall Overcome - The Seeger Sessions, is better than I had anticipated, and I anticipated that it would be pretty darn good.
I've also received the new disk from David Wilcox, entitled Vista. It will be in general release in mid-June. It's also pretty darn good, and I've added tracks from that one as well.
I will be posting a review of each disk after I've lived with each of them for a few more days.

Slap me around (I might like it), but I just can't get into David Wilcox.
It's funny, because I love so many of his contemporaries, especially Gorka.
I've seen him live twice. Once at Falconridge and once opening for Patty Larkin in Cleveland. Both times I was so bored I wanted to go to a bar and get a beer but didn't get up during the songs and climb over people to do it. Patty blew him off the stage.
He seemed to come across (to me) as a sappy, go for the easy rhyme, your mom probably likes him kinda guy.
Thank God I had a Fred Eaglesmith cd in the car. It helped get the syrup out of my ears.
