 (1 Customer Review)
On Flesh, David Gray's 1994 release, the Welsh singer/songwriter wraps his rough-hewn voice around ten self-penned songs that deal mainly with relationships. Delivered in his earnest voice, the highly literate observations of the lyrics and the folk-tinged feel of the music is easily compared to the work of Mike Scott of Waterboys fame. "What Are You?" kicks things off with an aggressive, bracing vocal growl from Gray over a tumbling rhythm. "Made Up My Mind" features a determined lyric of resilience and moving on. There isn't a weak cut on this record, but the highlights are the sparser, more reflective numbers that highlight the gentleness of Gray's guitar playing and the flawless phrasing of his vocal delivery. "Falling Free" and "Mystery of Love" are two of the best examples with the romantic longing of their lyrics. Neill MacColl adds some wistful slide guitar to the latter. A must listen for any fan of Scott or just anyone who appreciates well-done, acoustic-based rock. ~ Tom Demalon

Q (12/94, p.133) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...frequently explosive, often solo-acoustic-waged wars of words. Closer to that celebrated Celtic interloper Mike Scott than Scott's spiritual dad, Van Morrison...Gray's caustic rasp is nevertheless telling..."
Alternative Press (2/95, p.61) - "...[FLESH] has some Van the Man trademarks, the quiet bits where David rambles on, for example, and some lyrical play that could have come from [Dylan] Thomas' UNDER MILK WOOD..."

| | David Gray Sell, Sell, Sell CD (1996)
Flesh CD music
$11.65
Originally released in 1996, SELL, SELL, SELL seemed destined to propel British alt-rock crooner David Gray to wider international recognition. On this outing, Gray amps up his spare, folk-leaning sound on many songs, most notably the urgent "Faster, Sooner, Now" and the fierce title track, both of which take lyrical jabs at quick-paced, consumer-based modern life. While it might seem as though these energetic tunes would dilute the power of Gray's distinctive and expressive voice, the upbeat settings serve the compositions surprisingly well, and are deftly counterbalanced by stark, melancholy numbers such as the ...

Flesh music CDs
$13.25
Whiskeytown were one the mid-'90s wave of bands who approached American roots music--country, folk, singer/songwriter, and combinations thereof--from an alternative rock standpoint. They were apt to be as influenced by Nick Drake and Superchunk as by Johnny Cash and Neil Young. Ryan Adams performs vocal duties for Whiskeytown, and HEARTBREAKER is his first solo album.
It's primarily a singer/songwriter affair, with lots of acoustic guitars, gentle drums, subtle keyboards, and back-porch harmony vocals, but there's also a lot of variety and ...
| | David Gray White Ladder CD (1999)
Flesh songs
$12.69
This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
David Gray began his career utilizing bare-bones folk-rock arrangements that left plenty of room for his Dylan/Van Morrison-inspired vocals and lyrics to weave their spell. Subsequently, he submerged his unique qualities somewhat in thick production. WHITE LADDER finds a workable balance between these two extremes. Some of the tracks are little more than Gray plus rhythm section, recalling the simplistic grace of his debut A CENTURY ENDS; on other ...
