<p>In a world dominated by industry created pop idols, the story of David Gray is a heartwarming one of passionate belief in music and a healthy mistrust of celebrity. In this first major account of Gray's life and work, author Michael Heatley examines the cult singer/songwriter's Manchester roots, his Welsh upbringing, and his unique popularity in Ireland. Here too are the stories behind the four legendary albums that preceded the phenomenally successful <em>White Ladder</em>, recorded in the summer of 1998. </p><p><br></p><p>Heatley assesses the impact of global success on Gray who, faced with following up his surprise multi million-seller, achieved the near-impossible. The chart-topping <em>A New Day At Midnight,</em> critically-acclaimed as darker, stronger, and more powerful than <em>White Ladder</em>, reflected personal changes in Gray's life and pointed to a fascinating future. Fully illustrated with a comprehensive discography.</p>
