It has always seemed as if there were two Cheryl Wheelers, with fans of the New England
songwriter relishing watching the two tussle for control of the mic. There is poet-Cheryl,
writer of some of the prettiest, most alluring and intelligent ballads on the modern folk
scene. And there is her evil twin, comic-Cheryl, a militant trend defier and savagely funny
social critic. The result is a delightful contrast between poet and comic.
Poet-Cheryl writes achingly honest songs of love and loss. Contrasting the prosaic
landscapes of her native small-town America with the hopelessly rootless life of the
traveling performer, she touches the common chords with any who feel the tug between
our busy, noisome times and the timeless longing for simplicity and silence. Her
deceptively plain-spun songs have been hits for such mainstream stars as Suzy Bogguss
(Aces) and Dan Seals (Addicted), and have been recorded by everyone from Bette Midler,
Maura O’Connell, Peter Paul and Mary, Juice Newton, and Garth Brooks. Comic-Cheryl
comes on like Groucho-in-a-housecoat; a fiercely everyday woman with a barbed-wire
tongue. Shredding the mores of our gossipy, greedy, trend-obsessed culture, Wheeler
always aims enough darts at herself to never seem sanctimonious.
As the two forces smooth their conflict, taking their separate turns and melding into the
same artistic vision, Wheeler emerges as a gifted and openhearted songwriter approaching
the sure summit of her craft. Her abiding faith in her audience’s ability to find their own
life reflected in the sweet spaces of her songs reveals an artist comfortably wearing the
austere genius that defines folk music’s best traditions. More confidently and beautifully
than ever before, she proves that the poet and the comic are one and the same.
