New David Ford Video and Contest
I’ve said it before, and I’ll most likely say it again: David Ford is an extremely talented little monkey. The sooner everyone listens to me, the less I’ll have to say it.
Check out this new video (see above), recorded in one take earlier this month while he was passing through Brooklyn. The killer thing about this version of “Go To Hell” is that it’s a completely different arrangement than the version I caught live in March when he last rolled through Toronto. It also bears little resemblance to the recording on the album.
So if you enjoy the video, you’re probably saying to yourself, “I’d sure like to get a copy of his record.” Well, I just so happen to have a copy of Songs for the Road to give away.
How to Win
All you have to do is be the first person to comment on this post and the disc is yours. Just make sure you put in your actual email address so I can contact you to sort out the shipping details.
If you miss out on this one, do yourself a favour and keep your eyes open for David Ford on tour with Sara Bareilles for the rest of April and Augustana in May (in Toronto at the Mod Club on the 16th!).
So fill out the comment form below and win yourself this damn fine album!
