David Ford

The Profile

David Ford is a British singer-songwriter and former frontman of Easyworld. His solo work blends indie rock and folk-tinged songwriting, with acclaimed albums including I Sincerely Apologise for All the Trouble I've Caused and Songs for the Road.

Former Easyworld frontman; solo albums include I Sincerely Apologise for All the Trouble I've Caused (2005), Songs for the Road (2007), Let the Hard Times Roll (2010), and Charge (2013); noted for the song "State of the Union" and dynamic live looping performances.

Camel’s review of Songs for the Road hears David Ford through a prism of singer-songwriter touchstones, from Damien Rice to David Gray. Highlights include the string-laced Go To Hell, the almost up-tempo Decimate, and the tender And So You Fell. I'm Alright Now channels classic Elton John, while the closer leaves a soft afterglow—and even nods to a slowed-down There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.
