While David Gray became a name for his 1999 album White Ladder and its hit single "Babylon," I'm much more a fan of his darker 2002 follow-up, recorded after his father's death. Songs like "Dead in the Water," "Freedom" and "The Other Side" develop the album's introspective moodiness. It's not all gloom and doom though, as songs like the upbeat "Caroline" and ballad "Be Mine" lift the mood as well. Gray's blend of singer-songwriter songs with a production that's half acoustic, half electronic recalls the winning formula of British singer Dido.Best: Dead in the Water, Caroline, Be Mine, Long Distance Call, Last Boat to America, The Other Side
