He’s high on my Best of the 00s list. His most recent album, “Draw The Line”, was on my Best of 2009. And he put on a great show last weekend at the Riverside.
David Gray has an incredible ability to replicate the sound – and more importantly for his vocal style – the intensity of his studio recordings, for live shows. How he manages to bring that sort of energy on a consistent basis is really impressive. I mean, seriously — this is live? Listen without your eyes on the video and you’d swear it’s an engineered studio recording.
… and if you’re a David Gray fan, I’d highly recommend checking out another video in that series – an interview on KGSR-Austin. Sounds like another album is on the way very soon here… and there’s a clue as to why “that wacky drummer” isn’t around anymore.
Here’s a great video from PabstRiverside, from the show we were at:
Another awesome David Gray show. He has some incredible energy.
