Customer Reviews Fantastic I am not too familar with his other works, but this one sort of like folk/pop. This was my first David Wilcox album and it hooked me right from the first song, "New World". His voice is extremely soothing and is sort of similar to James Taylor, but with more lots more emotion (although I love James, too). The backing vocals by Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball are stunning and very nicely compliment the arrangements. Every song here is good, but my favorites are "Someday Soon", "Break In The Cup", "Strong Chemistry", "Please Don't Call", the witty "Big Mistake" and his outstanding cover of "Missing You". Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys singer/songwriter music lead by an acoustic guitar. You'll be humming all of these songs!! . Wilcox a winner I was immediately blown away by this guy. This was my first experience with David Wilcox. With a soothing voice, soul touching lyrics and superb guitar work, I was hooked on him. His vocal resemblence to James Taylor is quite close. Wilcox definitely fits into that folk genre that seems to be timeless. I can see myself listening to him 20 years ago and 20 years from now and his lyrics, vocal quality and guitar work would be just as captivating. An outstanding CD that you really can't go wrong with. Wilcox crosses the ages! . Dave's Most Commercial Work but Still Surprisingly Good Gone, for the most part, are the intricate guitar pieces of the first two albums and the more intimate feel. Of all of Dave's albums, this one is probably the most commercial in it's feel and sound. Normally, this would doom the album but for what I think is Dave's best collection of lyrics on any album he has released. As is often the case with his writing, each song is a story designed to take us beyond the typical pop "love is great" theme to something much deeper. As an athlete, my favorite tune is "Make it Look Easy" but other than the two covers on the album, I can't think of one I don't like. If you are unfamiliar with folk or have only had the chance to sample the work of James Taylor, this album makes for a great entry point to the genre. The same holds true if you're looking to get a bit more familiar with Dave on your own terms. In any case, be sure to follow this purchase up with "How Did You Find Me Here". .
