"This IS NOT David Wilcox, the artist you know and love who brought you "How Did You Find Me Here," "Big Horizon," "East Asheville Hardware," and "What You Whispered." There are TWO David Wilcoxes. The one who sang in all those CD's is from the U.S., the one who sings in "Rhythm Of Love" is from Toronto, Canada. Their styles are MILES apart. You may not like one if you like the other. I happen to like both. David Wilcox (from Toronto, are we on the same page, now?) is a driving rock/blues guitarist. With 6 previous albums, three greatest hits compilations and a 3-CD box set, David Wilcox is one of the steadiest selling rock artists in Canada. RHYTHM OF LOVE is contemporary rock, with Wilcox's unique, unusual, offbeat, humorous and eclectic take on the blues. David Wilcox is a brilliant entertainer. David Wilcox is a great guitar player. David Wilcox is unique, a natural. David Wilcox is a soulful songwriter/singer. David Wilcox first made his name as a solid showman, then as a rockin' axemaster. Ultimately, he has proved his worth as a multifaceted creative force. David Wilcox continues to make original eclectic music that you really ought to hear. But at this point, after more than 20 years of music-making-including many tours, numerous gold and platinum albums, a hatful of awards and nominations, and countless fans-it's no stretch to say that David Wilcox deserves consideration as a Rock Icon. The only trouble is that few people "south of the border" know who he is. Except in a few border towns, it seems folks are getting him mixed up with that other David Wilcox, a singer-songwriter who's much younger and sounds a lot prettier."
