Discussing the issues and ideas important to metropolitan Detroit, host Craig Fahle talks with the newsmakers, people making a difference in our community, and WDET listeners.
David Gray is not one to rest on his laurels; 12 million album sales, the bestselling album in Ireland ever with White Ladder, a BAFTA nomination for his soundtrack work on Amma Assante's 2004 film A Way Of Life. Two Ivor Novellos, a Q award, two Brit nominations and a Grammy nomination.
Those laurels, in fact, might not be an actual pain in the arse, but they certainly make him fidget.
"I didn't have a master plan but I knew that I was gonna make some wholesale changes at the end of making Life In Slow Motion," the singer-songwriter says of his 2005, #1 (seventh) studio album.
"I'd had a really good run, I'd built a band with some great people. But the creative spark that had been there, that [1998's] White Ladder was born out of, was sort of gone. I just felt there was a need for some new energy and a new impetus to the whole thing. I was hungry."
Three years in the making, David's seventh album (and first for Dave Matthews' ATO label) refines his sonic palette with wonderful results. Notable hits include "Alibi," "Hospital Food" and "From Here You Can Almost See the Sea."
