8 out of 10
Since Mr Ford's former band Easyworld disbanded in 2004, it appears he's been up doing two things:
1 - Writing solo records (Obviously)
2 - Getting angry
With song names like "Go to Hell", "Decimate" and "Nobody tells me what to do" you'd think that David Ford's album would be fast, furious & shouty but it's quite the opposite. Each track on this, his second solo release, is laden with strings & heartfelt raspy vocals. "Songs For The Road" finds itself teasing a few different genres throughout its 37 minutes such as blues, folk, country & pop.
The main point of this album that grabs your attention is David's voice and lyrics. He lambasts everyone around & even himself through this rage filled record but he does it with such a folky & loveable way with a voice that is comparable to James Morrison if he was singing lounge songs in a sparkly dress. Maybe the sparkly dress would be unnecessary but I just like that thought.
Buy this record & file it under "I've been dumped & I want to feel better about myself".
