David Gray is best known for his hit Babylon from the album White Ladders, which I had to look up on YouTube because I hadn't heard it. I really don't think I've heard any of David Gray's music before. That's OK, though, because I always love discovering new music and artists, and this album is a bit different from David Gray's previous albums. Mutineers "finds Gray steering into unfamiliar territory while cultivating a pugnacious but respectful relationship with his own history." The album stretched David's creative boundaries as he strove to create music that he had never made before.
I've now listened to the entire CD several times, and I am really enjoying it. Here's the official video for Back in the World, the first track on the CD. I really like this song. I'm not sure I understand the "naked as a tree" thing, but the song is really catchy.
Mutineers track listing:
- Back in the World
- As the Crow Flies
- Mutineer
- Beautiful Agony
- Last Summer
- Snow in Vegas
- Cake and Eat It
- Birds of the High Arctic
- The Incredible
- Girl Like You
- Gulls
- Nearly Midnight (bonus track)
