Draw the Line
| Home > D > David Gray > Discography > Draw the Line |
David Gray has come full circle back to his roots on his latest release, Draw the Line, which is significant given the fact that he could have easily succumb to the many distractions of success. Long-time fans of David Gray who gravitated to his earlier releases, including A Century Ends, Flesh, and Sell, Sell, Sell, will be happy to know he has not wandered far from the musical path he set out on nearly 20 years ago. The result is a humble album punctuated by his gritty baritone, layered acoustics, and a sobering thrush that comes across as an amped-up middle-aged confession half the time, and a sweet lullaby the rest.After the overwhelming success he garnered from 2000?s White Ladder, followed by an introspective period that included more down tempo and ethereal albums, Gray returns with a bit of idyllic hope delivered with his own brand of cynicism and irony. He is full of confidence following a long period where he was stuck in the ?shock of success? that descended on him with the ubiquitous accolades and critical acclaim of White Ladder. Now liberated from that period that tested his personal demons, David Gray feels a new presence and sense of purpose as he reflects and bears his musical soul to us all, more content than ever with his life and his music. Hear it all in the 14 minute interview, and enjoy.
