The British singer-songwriter rocketed to stardom in the late '90s with a husky-voiced folk-pop that sounded both sensitive-guy sweet and intriguingly hardbitten. That mix has spawned many lesser imitators--think James Blunt--but this greatest hits set reminds that the inventor still does it best.
David Gray's Greatest Hits includes two brand new tracks produced by legendary Pink Floyd/Sex Pistols producer Chris Thomas. "You're The World To Me" and "Destroyer" mark the acclaimed singer-songwriter's first studio recordings since 2005's Life In Slow Motion. The compilation is the first to feature songs from Gray's entire recording career, a period that encompasses seven albums, numerous record labels and in excess of 11 million albums sold worldwide.
