Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Released as a glass-raising toast to the longstanding loyalty of his Irish fanbase (whose thirst for fresh David Gray material is truly quenchless), Lost Songs 95-98 assembles material written during a label-hopping lapse either side of the Sell Sell Sell album and which was belatedly committed to tape in October of 1999. Far from being a tatty what-I-did-in-my-spare-time scrapbook of runtish discards and B-side quality cast-offs, Lost Songs offers conclusive proof that even David Gray's folk-pop wastepaper basket is lined with silver. Effortlessly maintaining Gray's brand-image as a troubadour-with-a-troubled-oulook, via a homogeneous selection of achy and predominantly acoustic heart-on-sleeve urban spirituals, many of Lost Songs' choicest moments ("Flame Turns Blue", "As I'm Leaving", "Falling Down The Mountainside") could all be Dylan-esque rungs from White Ladder.--Kevin Maidment

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll be glad you found them!, 12 May 2003

Ms. C. J. Malcolmson "rinibop" (Cheltenham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lost Songs 1995-1998 (Audio CD)

I discovered 'Lost Songs' quite a while after 'White Ladder'. Having played the latter CD to absolute death, I wanted to move onto something else. I was initially quite wary, having convinced myself that nothing could beat the outstanding 'White Ladder' but I was fortunately proved wrong. I bought 'Lost Songs' to accompany me on a particularly long train journey, knowing that I would be forced to either listen to the CD or the inane chatter of my travelling companions. As it happens, I played the CD roughly 4 times over because it was simply so good.

Having said that I loved 'White Ladder' there were a few songs that didn't quite do it for me, namely 'My Oh My', 'Were Not Right' and the title track 'White Ladder'. I personally preferred the gentler side of the album. The absolutely astounding 'This Years Love', 'Babylon' and 'Sail Away'. If those were the songs you liked on 'White Ladder' you will not be disappointed.

'Lost Songs' starts with my joint favourite 'Flame turns Blue' and doesn't let up till (other favourite) 'Clean Pair of eyes'.
The songs are mellow and gentle and flowing, some more stirring (particularly 'Falling down the mountainside') but all in all, I would say there are no dud's, no songs to hastily skip. It has a more accoustic and raw feeling than any of his previous or future efforts, and so may not be to everyone's liking.

It's definitely a chilling album, one to put on after a hard day at work, or whilst lying in a warm bath - pure bliss!
My only complaint would be the two instrumental songs, such as shame to waste valuable CD space without hearing the delightful Mr Gray's voice.

Top marks, 10/10!

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly outstanding collection of tracks, second to NONE!, 17 Mar 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Lost Songs 1995-1998 (Audio CD)

From the first minute that my ears had the privelage of hearing this truly talented artist, I was hooked.I thought White Ladder was good but this really does take the biscuit.Words can not describe the haunting beauty of some of these tracks.People never seem to take the time to actually listen to the lyrical content of a song, well if ever there was an album to encourage that,then here it is. A simply superb album.More of the same please Mr.Gray...........

5.0 out of 5 stars If you buy one Davis Gray Album - buy this, 19 Aug 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Lost Songs 1995-1998 (Audio CD)

More mellow than White Ladder,sad even ; this is an album for an evening by the fire and a glass of red wine.You can hear James Taylor and Bob Dylan in Gray's haunting songs.His powerful Mid - Atlantic accented singing is superbly backed by 12 string guitar expertly picked in a sixties folk style, bass and piano .David Gray is modern and fresh , a welcome change on the music scene.This is a 'must have' album. Those Autumn Evenings will never seem the same. Dick Stewart
