David Wilcox is coming out with a new album in June but you can here it right now. Go out to www.davidwilcox.com and once you get to the main page, click on listen. You'll get a cool Java jukebox that'll play songs from the soon to be released album, Vista. The album is really pretty good. There are a couple of tunes I'm not totally fond of but for the most part the songs are great musically and have some great stories. Anyone who has every been in a close romantic relationship and all the difficulties that can arise from having to risk the innermost parts of one's heart will understand "Hard Part" and "Good Man" so perfectly describes the frustration I sometimes feel as an "emergent" Christian. There's a definite bluesy/gospel feel to several of the songs including "Same Shaker" and "Wilford Branford Hayes". I can't wait to buy the album but I'll probably have to wait until June 13th when it comes out over at iTunes.

Wilcox will be in concert at the Variety Playhouse on June 9th and I'm really hoping to catch him. The last couple of times I've missed his visits there and have been pretty bummed. Hopefully, nothing will come up this time.

Thanks for reading.
