{"product_id":"what-you-whispered","title":"What You Whispered","description":"Amazon.com\n\nParadoxically, this Cleveland-born, now New England-based songwriter has been at his best when drawing on the lyrical space and spare country blues of the South. His best album, 1996's East Asheville Hardware, is an intimate acoustic homage to his years in North Carolina. On What You Whispered, Wilcox often recaptures that homespun, unpretentious sincerity. A twangy National steel guitar figure opens his eighth album, complementing a memorably amorous lyric, and later returns for the sweaty, sexy funk of \"Whisper of the Wheels,\" in which the road mirrors a woman's necessary but frightening self-discovery. Choosing to record at his Maryland home, Wilcox sounds mellow and assured, mostly abandoning the crutch of platitudinous folk-pop. It may still require effort to get past New Age sermons like \"Rule Number One\" or \"Start with the Ending,\" but Wilcox seems to be finding his voice again. --Roy Kasten\n\nProduct Description\n\nI will ship by EMS or SAL items in stock in Japan.

But occasionally, an artist will burst through the flotsam and jetsam of the pop music pond and command attention.\nSuch a singer\/songwriter is David Wilcox, who made a few converts among Christian music fans who ventured out to catch his opening set on club and college dates with Jars of Clay-certainly the Jars boys embraced Wilcox's literate and emotional writing and delivery. The vocal talents of Dan Haseltine, Charlie Lowell, Steve Mason and Matt Odmark can be heard on \"Start With the Ending\" and \"Rule Number One,\" two of the more brilliant moments on What You Whispered.\nWilcox has previously stated in these pages, \"...in folk music, we're trying to convince people that we're all the same,\" and his compassionate, probing, Spirit-driven lyrics certainly go a long way toward proving his point. The title track is a delightful portrait of intimacy; the wry humor of the funky \"Start With the Ending\" suggests that we get all our disagreements out of the way up front, in order to forge successful relationships, while \"In the Broken Places\" reminds us that brokenness, whether in spirit or body, often provides us with greater resilience. Wilcox's warm voice and accomplished guitar playing are at once compelling and reassuring, creating a connection all too rare in pop music. -- Bruce A.
