Customer Reviews Disillusioned Maybe he changed or was jaded by success, but this almost ruined his earlier stuff for me. After listening to the beautifully spiritual "How did you find me here," I hoped for more along those lines, but this loud and annoying effort gave me the feeling he was spitting on that wholesomeness. Delightful as heck. Some of David Wilcox's other releases are saccharine for my taste. This is one of my favorite albums. but East Ashville retains an edge that makes this effort standout. I heartedly recommend this collection of smart, funny and beautifully performed songs. For my money it's one of the best contemporary folk albums out there. If you are looking for music that is wholesome, pure, and filled with only sweetness and light. . . . this is still an outstanding release, but you may be happier with one of his other material. . Don't spend $30 plus for this! Sure, you don't get all the original art, but if you're buying the CD to look at the pictures you're kinda missing out. You can now get this CD in it's entirety at the iTunes music store and probably elsewhere online. Plus, if you really are offended by the stuff that's mentioned in these reviews, you can download the stuff you like and don't pay for what you don't want. This is a great CD and the song "East Asheville Hardware" is amazing. It's a song about a hardware store that almost makes me cry! . .
