An average album from a talented singer songwriter

"Few artists are blessed with David Gray's distinct voice and songwriting ability. He's certainly gotten popular, perhaps too much so and for the wrong reasons, but he remains a notable artist. Gray's latest release Foundling (includes a bonus CD) offers up a handful of finely written and performed contemporary folk / mellow rock tunes- not mind-bending, but nice. Another handful of tunes fall into what I call his "Nod Off Series," as in, try not to nod off while listening to them (someone, please hide Gray's piano.) My love/hate thing with David Gray aside, there are some nice tunes worth owning here. To sample Gray in his prime, sample songs from A Century Ends, which is also reviewed here. Gray's album Flesh is also among his best and is a Must Hear!



GENRES: Contemporary Folk, Mellow Rock.
