David gray is a singer song writer from Manchester. This album, white ladder, was released on his own label after having issues with a couple of record labels. As a result he hit it off well in Ireland before making it big elsewhere. White ladder has a really intriguing cover, being blue with a small black square with a white ... Read the complete review

I am going to start this review off by saying what a brilliant album. This was his second release, and he want back to the stripped down route to make it. recorded in hotel rooms over the world this is a fantastic collection of songs that just scream of brilliant, quirky song writing. He has an ear for a tune and a good hook, ... Read the complete review

It's hard to believe that 'White Ladder' was released 10 years ago, as it still remains one of my most frequently played albums. I can remember seeing David Gray music videos a lot on Irish TV long before the hugely successful single 'Bablylon' made a name for him in the UK charts. This is one of the album's highlights with ... Read the complete review

White Ladder by David Gray is an excellent album and in my opinion is one of his best. I orginally bought this for £10 from HMV but it is available from Amazon for just over £6. The album was released in 1999 and it has 10 superbly produced tracks. This album contains five very good and popular singles which include the great ... Read the complete review

Released in 1999, White Ladder was David Gray's breakthrough effort and finally allowed him the mainstream success he had so eagerly been chasing for years. While he had actually released his debut album in 1993, he was yet to come to the attention of the general public. Sure, he had an active fan base, and those who had listened to ...

David Gray exploded into our attention. Having struggled for years, his almost totally self-penned album White Ladder, became an instant hit. With the singles Babylon and Please Forgive Me, he came to prominence in 2000. White Ladder is an album at which folk purists may cringe, but this collection of catchy songs on a bed of ...

White Ladder is one of the best albums without doubt of 2000. It is the album that made David Gray a household name and gave a breath of life to his wavering music career. White Ladder is surprisingly the fourth studio album to be release by David Gray. It follows the earlier unsuccessful Sell, Sell, Sell, A Century Ends and Flesh. All ... Read the complete review

About six months ago I was burgled. My CD collection, amongst other things, was stolen. I had about 100 CDs but David Gray/White Ladder was by far my favourite. I was absolutely gutted. So what did I do? I went and bought another copy immediately of course! When I first got the album I had only heard a couple of tracks (Babylon ... Read the complete review

David Gray's White Ladder was an excellent album and the first time I listened to it I knew I really liked his style of music, his lyrics and his rhythm. I would avise anyone who hasn't done so to buy this album because it is packed with top tunes and is non-stop harmony. Tracks like Babylon, Please forgive me and This year's ...

Before hearing the single 'Babylon' on the radio I had never heard of David Gray. I thought he was just another artist with a new sound.

I bought this when it first came out on the strength of reviews alone, having only heard 'Babylon' on the radio a couple of times. Needless to say I was enchanted after the first play and bored all my friends by ranting about how important this man was (they understand now having listened themselves). At the time I ...

With his familiar head-nodding during live performances, David Gray is becoming more familiar, not least for his ‘sheep-style’ voice, which, in my opinion, is one of the most distinctive in recent years. White ladder starts with the familiar ‘Please Forgive Me’, which, being a very easy going, yet ... Read the complete review

A lot of people presume that David Gray has been catapulted to fame. That is certainly not the case, "White Ladder" is in fact his 4th album. Recorded in a studio?? Oh no! This was recorded in his house in London, with the windows open, and the world making noise outside. I found that unbelieveable. He has not pretended that ... Read the complete review
