Wilder Adkins is a singer-songwriter based in Birmingham, Alabama. With influences spanning from Appalachian folk ballads to Indian devotional music to the poetry of Wendell Berry and Mary Oliver, his songs are steeped in natural imagery and frequently touch upon the subjects of faith, doubt, hope, and sorrow. In our conversation, we talk about the importance of strong lyrical imagery, his experience working with a band after years of writing solo, the way his songs come together, and a whole lot more.
