Friend just recommended old david gray albums to me after recommending to him Ryan Adams (although I don't think they're all that alike, but anyways) -- he is wooonderful. You know him, he's the -- "if you want it, come and get it, for crying out loud....let go of your heart, let go of your head, and feel it now, Babylon" -- anyways hes the Babylon guy, a great song but also more indicative of his later stuff.
I got the album Flesh (came out quite a bit before white ladder which babylon is off of) and its soo good. He's an angry man with a guitar and what a great voice. Lyrics are never the first thing that appeal to me in a song, I usually go for sonic appeal -- but I noticed his right away ie "the dark sucks on the ember of the fire" (from "The Light" track). Definitely check him out.
