Over the years, I have collected a number of articles about David from various sources - newspapers and magazines. The links below will take you to the pages containing these articles.

In some cases they are used with full permission of the author and in other cases I have been unable to trace the author, but will withdraw the item if it causes a problem. In each case, the publication is credited and the date of publication given.

Each page contains a lot of text and you are advised to save them or print them for off-line reading.

If any of these articles whetted your appetite for more, you must try to obtain Mark Brend's book, American Troubadours, which looks at the life and work of nine singer-songwriters, including David Ackles.

Apart from written articles, there is one other significant place where David Ackles has been discussed. In 2009, Elvis Costello produced a TV series, Spectacle,  where he interviewed several people on their music interests. In the Elton John one, they talk about David Ackles before performing their duet version of Down River. You can see a clip of this on YouTube.

I'll do a transcript of what Elton and Elvis have to say about David in a future edit of this site.
