“For any singer-songwriter to be able to muster passion, hope and grace after 15 years in the unsung folk genre is an accomplishment, and as such, David Wilcox is infinitely accomplished.”

— Paste Magazine

  • “A charismatic performance by a star still waiting to be discovered by a much larger audience”

    — The New York Times

  • “Fueled by brilliantly articulate guitar, an honestly pretty baritone, and deft lyrics, he combines the best of both pop and modern folk aesthetics.”

    Boston Globe

  • “David Wilcox’s ongoing musical journey [is]... compelling and richly deserving of a listen.”

    Rolling Stone

  • “But Wilcox has that specific inner light - he can carry any issue of significance to him straight into a listeners heart... And when he does it, to borrow one of his song titles, he makes it look easy.”

    LA Weekly

“The concert was an incredibly cleansing experience. Songs with passionate, beautiful lyrics sung in a soulful voice, backed by crisp acoustic guitar arrangements that took me on an emotional roller-coaster ride (I know, kind of sounds like a wine steward describing a fine Burgundy, right?)”

— Kevin Nealon in Spin Magazine

“For David Wilcox, music is a personal compass for finding his way home. Lining it up with something deep inside, his words become image-filled poetry that dances to an internal rhythm. Challenging situations, elusive ideas, and long-suppressed feelings are directed into inspiring metaphors of hope. Coupled with a seamless melody, it is all delivered in the language of his heart.”

— Performing Songwriter

“Factor in a strong acoustic guitar technique that eschews simplistic strumming in favor of expressive finger-picking, and a pleasant voice that sounds like a more insistent, fuller bodied James Taylor, and you have a solid solo- acoustic performer who will make his way even if he doesn’t serve ear candy.”

— Los Angeles Times

“His most recent effort, 2018’s “The View from the Edge,” is yet another sparkling collection of meticulously crafted observations, this one focused on grappling with the limits of one’s own perspective...No matter how old I get or professional I’ve become, the most thrilling part of my job is interviewing someone I’ve admired for years. Singer-songwriter David Wilcox lands firmly in that category. Someone loaned me a copy of his “How Did You Find Me Here?” album back in the early ‘90s, and I fell in love with the song “Rusty Old American Dream,” as written from the semi-wizened perspective of a car that rolled off an assembly line in 1958 (much like Wilcox himself). So I got to talk to him about that, as well as the process of songwriting, while struggling to keep cool. He’s appearing at 6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 19, at the Whiteside Theatre, 361 SW Madison Ave., Corvallis. I’ll be there. If you can make it, please do.

- Corey Frye - Albany (OR) Democrat-Herald - January 2020”

“Traveling troubadour and songwriter extraordinaire David Wilcox is playing at Birmingham’s Woodlawn Theater on Friday, April 12. There is quite a bit of heft in that sentence. Wilcox has been crafting well written songs for decades while also bringing them to life on stage. His visage and career brings to mind the nomadic, road weary singer with a lightweight suitcase and a guitar that could be best described as feathery in both appearance and actual pounds.

His latest album My Good Friends is a perfect snapshot of the deft writing style and largesse he bestows upon listeners when he composes new lyrics. I spoke with him about a couple of the tunes on the new record and was mildly taken aback by his inspiration for writing them.”

- Larry May, Apr 11, 2024 - The Anniston Star
