BIG TROUBLE

DAVID FORD'S "State of the Union" kicks off a stunning new album

David Ford's newly released album, I Sincerely Apologize for All the Trouble I've Caused, is an album of words and melodies that whisper and shout defiantly at the constant disappointments that litter our lives. The album's tone is set by key songs such as the epic, "I Don't Care What You Call Me," and Ford's memo to himself, the anthemic "Cheer Up (You Miserable Fu***)," which features his local football team on backing vocal duties. Ford's jaw-dropping and vitriolic live favorite, "State of the Union," was released ahead of the album as a single, featuring Ford's "live in one take" video version of the song. Any attempts at modern comparisons, don't quite get to the heart of David Ford. More accurately, he conjures up such great masters of melody and inventiveness as Todd Rundgren and Tom Waits.
