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.

Arranger: Terry Edwards.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..."

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.

5 stars too good for its own good
i like most music from hardcore to the soft stuff and let me tell ya theres no balence like substance something this album has lots of. i really only care about the lyrics in lots of cases unless its suppose to be instrumental. thats all the really matters to this perceptive world anyway, the message of peace & love
