David Eugene Edwards of Wovenhand: Apocalypse Ain’t for the Faint of Heart

Few artists have committed to the ethic of apocalyptic – even
gothic – Americana as completely as Colorado’s David Eugene
Edwards. From his early work with The Denver Gentlemen and 16
Horsepower to the last two decades of material he has offered via
Wovenhand, Edwards practically haunts every stage, and album,
with spirits that are simultaneously spectral and Biblical. On
this episode of the True Tunes Podcast, John J. Thompson sits
down with Edwards in front of a live audience at the Audiofeed
Festival in Champaign, Illinois to talk about his origins, his
musical concepts, and his mystical perspectives on everything
from the nature of art and humanity to the essence of
spirituality and redemption.


Then we crank up the jukebox to hear some other seminal
apocalyptic music – and consider the value and purpose of
provocative art in general. What is it that is being hidden,
revealed, discovered, or avoided, when we drop the needle these
days?
