David Gray's Mutineers Album Review

On June 17th,  you can pick up Gray's 10th album Mutineers. Even though Gray has released 10 albums, this is the first time I've heard about him. I have to say I'm not disappointed. Mutineers is said to be "an album that seems to fizz with the joy of it's own assembly and finds Gray steering into an unfamiliar territory while cultivating a pugnacious but respectful relationship with his own history."

Gray is a British singer-songwriter that first got the world's attention with his album entitled White Ladder in 1999. This was the first of three number one albums in the U.K. which helped him get both Brit and Grammy nominations. With his albums Draw The Line(2009) and Foundling(2010) he was able to get into Billboard's US Top 100 albums. 

There are many good songs on Mutineers. My favorite by far is called Back In The World. You can check it out below.

All of his songs are inspirational and tell a story.  His music soothes me and helps me reflect on my own life. Another great example of his amazing storytelling is found in his song As The Crow Flies. You can check out an amazing live version by clicking here.
