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 cuts, synthesizers and electronic rhythms are incorporated in a tasteful, organic way that lends modernity to the proceedings without imposing upon the spirit of the songs.

As always, the most important thing is Gray's lyrical and vocal skill, which remain pleasingly intact. He leavens his simple, heartfelt observations with just the right amount of poetic imagery, much in the same manner that the electronic touches are added to spice up WHITE LADDER's neo-folk arrangements.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Rolling Stone (10/12/00, p.89) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Sleek modern folk....Gray proves that great songs sometimes require quiet acts of irreverence."
Entertainment Weekly (1/19/01, p.85) - "...A restorative for those hungry for intimacy....an heir to Van Morrison..." - Rating: B
Q (1/01, p.92) - Included in Q's "50 Best Albums of 2000".
Q (8/00, p.118) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A triumph of songcraft, with a huge emotive tug following from the spare acoustic textures. Gray's crusty, Dylan-esque voice shines throughout..."
CMJ (5/00, p.24) - "...A stately, sophisticated album...Gray combines gentle guitar hooks and effusive string washes with warm, fluent beats on memorable songs....[A] magnificent accomplishment..."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/00, p.124) - "...Mega-platinum in Ireland....Dominated by understated acoustic strumming and his warbling tenor, opener 'Please Forgive Me' is a dead ringer for mid-'70s Dylan..."
NME (Magazine) (7/15/00, p.34) - 6 out of 10 - "...Given the decent songwriting showcased here, you suspect it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke..."

5 stars Poetry never sounded better!
David Grey has this sad beautiful sound that can somehow be uplifting. This is his best in my view. I've bought it for a lot of friends.

4 stars DAVID GRAY'S LYRICS
I feel as though DG has written lyrics to my lifes story and it is validating to know this artist can convey through his music the deepest aspects of loving someone, discovering oneself, and moving on. A must listen to for those who can appreciate heartfelt relationship truth.

Wallflowers Breach CD  (2000)

White Ladder
CD $8.49  5 stars Audio Samples
After the multi-platinum and Grammy-winning success of 1996's BRINGING DOWN THE HORSE, Jakob Dylan finally got out from under the heavy mantle of his famous father's legacy and started a legacy of his own. For his millennial follow-up, the younger Dylan continued down the path of rich lyricism and well-crafted pop songs with help from the production team of Andrew Slater (Fiona Apple/Macy Gray) and singer-songwriter Michael Penn. Despite all his success and acclaim, Dylan comes off as more the hard-edged realist than bright-eyed optimist. Song topics draw from the sour experiences of life and a quest for higher meaning, manifested in numbers like the enigmatic and weary seeker-of-truth ode "I've Been ...

Gray's emotive delivery and heartfelt lyricism are full of youthful angst and passion.

Norah Jones Come Away With Me CD  (2002)

White Ladder
CD $12.15  4 stars Audio Samples
COME AWAY WITH ME won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical). "Don't Know Why" won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Arif Mardin won the 2003 Grammy Award for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical). A direct descendant from the pedigree of one of the 20th century's virtuosos, Norah Jones might not be on such a lofty artistic level as her dad Ravi Shankar, but certainly inherited some musical intuition from him. With nary a sitar nor raga within earshot, the young newcomer sounds very much an assimilated, western, 21st century pop-jazz singer. One thing that separates her from the pack is Ms. Jones' own piano stylings--not flashy, but deftly doubling or echoing her voice--that discreetly act as the glue holding together these airy, delicate, and beautiful arrangements. But the centerpiece is certainly the 22-year-old's confident-beyond-her-years ...

Although Coldplay was already big before A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD's 2002 release, nothing could have prepared the British band for the album's Grammy-garnering runaway success. In addition to becoming a full-blown rock star, frontman Chris Martin remained in the media spotlight through his marriage to actress Gwyneth Paltrow and the subsequent birth of the couple's child. What followed for Coldplay was, reportedly, ...
