Babylon David Gray

White Ladder was going to be David Gray's final album!

Prior to the home made album 'White Ladder', David Gray had little success as an artist.

But David never gave up, even though he had been dropped by labels for almost a decade in various line ups he finally decided to make an album in his bedroom.

Only with the help of his drummer, Craig McClune, 'White Ladder' was a massive success for an independent album.

A total of 8 singles was released from 'White Ladder' which was followed up by touring with Dave Matthew's Band in America.

Matthew's even released 'White Ladder' on his own label.

White Ladder

At the time Gray started the recordings for 'White Ladder' he was seriously considering giving up his musical career.

Life on the road had finally gotten to him and depression started to kick in, his relationship was on the rocks and there was no money left in his life.

This is evident in the song 'Nightblindness' were David sings: "what are we gonna do when the money runs out, I wish there was something left to say".

He later said: "I find it weird that people can relate to that kind of pain".

'White Ladder' earned David Gray a Grammy nomination for "Album Of The Year" in '02.
