Asheville guitarist-songwriter David Wilcox has been at the vanguard of American folk music since the late 1980s. His observational storytelling and lyrical turns of phrase have earned him a loyal following throughout this country and beyond. Sixteen studio albums into his career, he’s still finding new things to say. Today, we go deep with Wilcox about his songcraft, his vein of inspiration through the pandemic and the range of emotion he mined for his newest record, “My Good Friends.” We also get into his obsessive compulsion about a particular make and model of motorcycle.  Wilcox celebrates the release of his latest record with a solo performance Nov. 24 at the Grey Eagle.  Help "The Overlook with Matt Peiken" podcast reach its very reachable goal: Just $1,000 in monthly contributions by Election Day. <a href="https://patreon.com/theoverlookpodcast">Membership at our Patreon campaign</a> starts at just $5/month. <a rel="payment" href="https://patreon.com/theoverlookpodcast">Support the show</a>Support The Overlook by <a href='https://patreon.com/TheOverlookPodcast'>joining our Patreon campaign</a>! <a href='https://podavl.com/advertise'>Advertise your event</a> on The Overlook.
