Music reviews of Lost Songs 95-98
Music Review: The One That Confirmed His Genius.
Rating: 5 Stars
After I had "White Ladder" for a while and had played it nonstop I was hungry for more music from David Gray. He was getting noticed for his subtle use of electro in the background of his songs but I was more impressed with something else. I noticed his lyrics were cryptic and brilliant at the same time. His voice was pure and emotional. I wanted to find an album of songs that were raw and stripped down. After all, what is the point of being a singer-songwriter if you need all the electro ticks to sound good. I knew Gray didn't need it and wanted to hear it for myself. "Lost Songs" had just come out so I ran and got it. WOW! Its full of his signature emotion and talent and his guitar playing showed me a new level of skill. "Flame Turns Blue" grabs you right away and lays the ground work for the rest of the album. Songs like "Twilight" "If Your Love is Real" and "Tidal Wave" are so sweet and speak of love in such a poetic way. Others like "Clean Pair of Eyes", "Falling Down the Mountain Side" and "Red Moon" have a sharper sound and feel to them while never loosing Gray's brilliant use of words. This was the album that convinced me to get all his other albums previous and forthcomming. If you love "Smart" lyrics and soulful singing then by all means run out and get any and all David Gray music starting with this album. I hope this helped:)
Description of Lost Songs 95-98
David Gray's long, twisty path to success finally reached its conclusion with White Ladder, one of 1999's biggest worldwide hits. It was a popular rebirth of the proverbial folk music troubadour--albeit with a twist of electronica for added spice. That breakthrough has made it possible for Lost Songs, a collection of tracks Gray recorded in the three-year period between Ladder and 1996's Sell, Sell, Sell, to see the light of day. This was a desperate period in Gray's career, having been dropped from a major label for a second time (the first after the excellent but largely unnoticed 1994 release, Flesh), and the songs here reflect a resilient yet fading sense of hope. Most of them are short, stripped-down to their bare acoustic necessities and brimming with familiar themes of resignation, or a love just out of reach. "I'm getting tired of being denied, of things getting in my way, and if I'm quiet, that's 'cause there's nothing left to say," Gray sings on "Red Moon," his raspy-voiced cadence crying out over rough, indelicate guitar chords. Part of what makes Gray's musical voice so interesting is the way these words come out, vowels and consonants all chewed up and spit out, direct and deliberate, yet expressed with a cavalier matter-of-factness. It makes his work seem personal and individual, even when the sentiments he expresses are unabashedly accessible and universal. Of course, making the personal seem universal is the same approach folk singers from Van Morrison on down have used since time began. When it's done this well, however, that's just fine. --Matthew CookeGeneral CDs
