David Gray White Ladder anyone?

Bought this cd about a week or so ago. Man does this guy hit the mark. If you like Bob Dylan and Dave Mathews better give this guy a listen. I'd say he falls somewhere right in the middle. I just ordered some of his older stuff from amazon, you know how that goes.

Honestly I think he's earned this thread so jump on board and tell me what you think.

One note, a couple of the tracks have insane bass notes on them so you may have to turn down the music a tad to keep from rattling the dishes. Otherwise this is what I call "pop folk" at it's very best

I picked up the DVD yesterday. The 5.0 sound mix wasn't the best but everything else was great. I'll try running it in PCM today. I sure hope this guy continues to write great songs. I could easly become a life long fan.

I like David Gray and I was told that he was a protege of Dave Mathews but I have no idea if that is really true.

It took me several listenings before I really liked David Gray. The first impression I had about "White Ladder" was that it was a poor quality recording. It does sound like a demo. It was easier to listen to in the car since sound is not as critical. The DVD has a more musical sense to it. The emotion comes through stronger in the live performance. I've found that those CDs which take longer to appreciate usually end up being the ones you enjoy the most over time.
