I heard David Gray for the first time on a local radio station in Charlottesville and I was hooked. I went online that night to find out more about him, and the next day I bought his cd Life In Slowmotion. It soon became my all time favorite music cd ever! Everyone I knew who listened to it liked it, and most went out and bought it. At the risk of sounding cliche "it changed our lives a little" at least our musical listening habits at the time. Since then I have started listening to all of his earlier work as well. White Ladder is my next favorite from his discography, all of David's music has become like an old friend to me. If you've never listen to David, well heres your chance. Who knows He may make a big difference in your life too.

After eight years of touring and recording his three previous albums, 1998s White Ladder (6 million worldwide sales) established David as one of the UK's leading artists both at home and overseas. In Ireland, White Ladder remains the best selling album of all time. His commercial success is backed up by a critical consensus that has seen him win two Ivor Novello awards for song writing, a Q award for best single, a GQ award for Best Solo Artist, two Brit nominations for Best Male, a Grammy Nomination for Best New Artist and been championed by The Sun newspaper as the "country's real pop star."
