David Wiffen is the first studio album and second solo album[1] by Canadian singer-songwriter David Wiffen. The standout tracks are "I've Got My Ticket", "Driving Wheel" and "More Often Than Not". As one reviewer recently commented, "Its complex arrangements sneak around behind seemingly simple songs which gives the whole thing an incredible depth. Stealing the show throughout is Wiffen's incredible baritone. It's smooth but fractured. It's the kind of voice you wish you had. ...As you'll never own his talent, buy the record and get lost in the wonder and heartbreak..."[2] "I've Got My Ticket" was inspired by Jerry Jeff Walker. The album reached #73 on the Canadian charts.[3] The single "More Often Than Not" was #25 on the Canadian AC charts and #85 on the rock charts.[4][5]
