Title: Wonderful, heart-melting music
Review: I came across David Gray after his second album, "Flesh" was released, though I would have to say this first record is the one to start with. "Shine," "Gathering Dust," and "Birds Without Wings" are all incredible, slow building, expansive folk songs that speak to a wide audience. Without the proselytizing and awful slick production of some bigger name folkies out there, and a voice that is at once youthful and weary, the sound of this recording matches the songwriting, which is extraordinary. Especially considering this is his first release, David Gray has incredible talent. These songs still hold me in their thrall- not something to just put on, but something to really listen to, and feel. "Wisdom" kicks out the jams a little more, looking forward to the bigger electric sound he favored on "Sell, Sell, Sell." I love this record, and there will always be a big spot in my heart for David Gray.
