On his assured debut, David Ford serves up folk-pop with punk attitude. In other words, the instrumental backing may be acoustic, but the lyrics are as caustic as they are confessional. Three tracks, "State of the Union," "Katie," and "Cheer Up (You Miserable F**k)," can't even be played on the radio--in their unedited form, at any rate. Released to wide acclaim in the UK in 2005, Ford wrote, performed, and produced I Sincerely Apologize for All the Trouble I've Caused. He even shot the videos. Granted, there are a few guests: Franco Bidanco (saxophone), Frances Law, and Ford's football club, Team Sundry (backing vocals). The rest is all David, who has a way with self-deprecation and a soothing voice that reveals a trace of a Sussex accent. In "I Don't Care What You Call Me," he laments, "I am unforgivable." On "Katie," it's "I'm so dumb." He has choice words for old lovers, too, like "I know I let you down/and Christ, you let me know/every time/and time again" ("I Don't Care"). The results lie between fellow Brits Badly Drawn Boy and label mate Aqualung, with whom he has shared the stage. I Sincerely Apologize may not exactly be a day brightener, but it's a cathartic listen for anyone who's ever wronged or been wronged--and who hasn't been on one side or another of that equation? --Kathleen C. Fennessy

I too saw David Ford open for Amiee Mann in Fairfield,CT. and he blew me away. Love his voice and his sometimes touching, sometimes torching lyrics.

You should give him a try and see him live if you can - it is great to see one man make such a wall of sound through tight layering and looping of his own sounds.

I was able to see David opening for Aimee Mann. He did an awesome performance. I got to talk to him afterwards and he is also very personable. I bought the CD and the music does remind me of David Gray, but the song "I don't care what you call me" reminds me of the Wallflowers. Bottom line, I think we will hear more of Mr. Ford.
