DAVID GRAY "white ladder" cd,1998.
UK born David's fourth album(never heard of him till i got this one)...
and the first of three in a row to top the UK album charts...this one took a long while to get there though, taking two and a half years from first date of chart entry to actually making t to the top,ended up spending over 150wks in the charts.
also spawned a few hit singles, "babylon" #5, "please forgive me" #18and a cover of Soft Cell's 1982 UK hit "say hello,wave goodbye" reached #26 over there also...
i guess alt folk would be a s close as i'd say could describe this album, nothing great on here and only two i do not like, as i was listening to the album i initially picked the song 'babylon' as my favourite, then along came the one i stuck with(see below), not a bad album...i also noticed that his 2009 album had guest appearances by Annie Lennox and Jools Holland, so i guess the guy is respected out there
