Some of these songs were initially intended to be released in 2020, then the plague of our times rearranged our plans, our lives, and the entire direction of my artistic career. Finally, here in 2023, after a couple of years of the type of contemplation and reflection that I believe can only be born in the heart of an artist trying not only to survive but to create something meaningful amidst the most perilous of times... I offer you these songs.

" 20 years of making music and it’s only natural to start thinking you’ve seen it all, done it all. By the time you’ve witnessed ten thousand men take to the stage with an acoustic guitar to sing about their feelings, you can easily get to the impression that whether magnificent or mediocre they’re all to some degree just recycling the schtick of Bob Dylan, James Taylor or any number of whiskey-sodden bluesmen. Then one rainy night in the Netherlands I saw Abe Partridge take to the stage with an acoustic guitar and it felt like the first time anybody ever thought to try it. He didn’t just sing his songs, he set fire to them. It was brutal and tender and smart and angry and funny and brilliantly, uniquely authentic. I saw it as a magnificent reminder that great songs, delivered with honest intensity were what first made me want to do any of this in the first place. So inviting Abe to tour the UK became an act of civic duty. I wanted to share this gift with my fellow citizens. The series of performances he gave enraptured audiences everywhere we went and I feel truly grateful for the nineteen October evenings we spent playing our music and telling our stories. I hope we will do it again someday." - David Ford
