Lost Songs '95-'98 is David Gray's
long-awaited acoustic
album,
featuring previously-unrecorded songs from those years when he was
in-between record labels. The styles are reminiscent of the time of
the Flesh
and Sell
Sell Sell albums, simple, heartfelt songs that grow on you with
each listen.
Put simply, this is
a brilliant album. Anyone who thought fame may have gone to his head
will realise that the magic is still there; David Gray has produced
a gem of an album that may confuse recent converts who have only
just discovered White Ladder, but will be the missing link to the
rest of us. Each of the 11 songs is unique and is delivered with
soul, feeling and freshness.
Initially, this
album has been released only in Ireland - David says it is a gift to
the Irish fans that have supported him for so long. However, fans
outside Ireland can purchase the album over the Internet (see link
on left).
It is yet to be
confirmed, but Flame Turns Blue is suspected to be the first
single, although many other songs, particularly Falling Down The
Mountainside Clean Pair of Eyes could be singles too.
Already, David has begun to play some of these songs live, where
they sound great.
