I have waited a while to update this so I could let my last rant set in a bit and blow over.   As you may have noticed by my profile, I work in radio and also do custom cheer mixes.  I have been in radio doing everything from Top 40 to Country, Oldies to Rock and have heard thousands of artists and bands.  Not trying to date myself too much, but Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It"  was a current/power song when I started working in radio part time in high school. 

My friends know I don't normally go out on a limb and talk about an artist this much unless that artist has truly moved my soul a little bit.  Now we are not talking about Kylie Minogue or Britney Spears or the "flavor of the month".   I am talking about a grown up.  An artist that moves you with the music and the words.  And after hearing what you would expect as every possible chord progression and verbage used over the years then one artist comes along who says it differently and does it just differently enough that you go "yeah, that is it".  So much so that you want to tell the world. 

Now normally being in radio that is not hard to do as you end up talking about it with coworkers to the point they actually listen to it and playing it to see what I am babbling about.  Well these days I am a production director, stuck in a small studio producing ads all day, so I am using MySpace to tell the world about David Ford.  The British have sent us another gem. 

David Ford is haunting, real, unique, full of humility, original yet familiar.  Grown up music for people who have done just that, had heartache, had joys and have truly lived life and lost themselves and found themselves along the way. 

Mr. Ford's music is not something you will hear on the radio and it is not meant to dance to.  To truly enjoy it I think, you need to find a few minutes to lean back in your chair and stare at the ceiling and turn on "I don't care what you call me".  It changed me.  And the more you listen to it, the more you want to hear it again

David is on MySpace or you can view his site and hear some songs on MySpace through my page.
