Gilbert, Vance
Old White Men
The new release from Gilbert, old white men, is a masterpiece of wit and observation showing a master storyteller and social observer at the top of his game. At the same time, his vocals and musical chops are in top form. This is a career highlight from one of the spokesmen of the new folk revival of the 1980s and 1990s. Vance Gilbert burst onto the New England singer- songwriter scene in the early 1990s in folk clubs when word of an ex-multicultural arts teacher who was taking no prisoners at clubs throughout the region. Eight albums later,Vance continues to refine his unlikely union of humor, virtuosity and the unexpected.
