As the LA Times said in January 2007 ‘David Ford digs down deep in the heart-and-soul tradition: an English and male Lucinda Williams? He puts everything into every note, every word.’
David Ford recorded his debut album ‘I Sincerely Apologise For All the Trouble I’ve Caused’ on his own in his cellar flat in Eastbourne during 2005 thinking he was just “doing a bunch of demos”. However, the strength of these recordings led to magnoliaMAM taking him on for management and shortly thereafter licensing the ‘demos’ as a finished album to Independiente for the UK and then, in April 2006, to Columbia Records in New York for the USA and the ‘rest of the world’.
The album has now been widely acclaimed and featured in the best of lists for 2006 in the LA Times, The Sunday Times, The New York Post, The Word and The Toronto Star - who said ‘you have to go back to Dylan’s ‘Idiot Wind’/’Blood on the Tracks’ to find such an impressively sustained, bile-soaked round of invective’.
He has toured extensively in the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia during 2006. When performing live David makes use of a ‘looping pedal’ which allows him to build up layers of vocals, guitars, percussion and keyboards to create extremely powerful and beautiful layers of sound; most notably when playing the song “State Of The Union”. (live footage can be seen on both his myspace page and his old archived web site - www.myspace.com/davidford & www.davidford.mu - current website is at www.davidfordmusic.com)

...Because he spends too much time giving too much attention to a country who doesn't really care that much about his music instead of embracing his European nature. Douchebag!

Anyone else pick up his book? It's made me listen to Songs For The Road in a different light, knowing its tumultuous production.

That was actually quite an entertaining story, thanks nineinchneals! David Ford is a tremendously underrated artist, sadly. But we who know him are definitely enjoying some of the finest music made in the UK.

The first time I heard anything by David Ford I was actually working at a bar in Southampton. It was late and quiet (some random Monday night) and, for some reason, the video for I Don't Care What You Call Me appeared on the TV. I watched for the full song and, not knowing who he was, scrambled at the end of the video to find a pen and paper so I could write down his name and find the track at home. I guess this was about four years ago and I've been listening to him ever since! As somebody stated below, he deserves much more credit and recognition; his music does what a lot of the other music I possess can't.

I got my limited edition CD yesterday! Mine is #376 :) I must say it's a rather lovely book and I just found it adorable that the CD looks like a vinyl... OK, I'll stop all this gayness now.

"Let The Hard Times Roll" is a great album! It sure develops and cements David's reputation as currently one of UK's finest singer-songwriters. This man does not disappoint!
