A successful formula.,
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
David Gray's "Greatest Hits" contains fourteen songs that span his musical career and throws together eleven of his sixteen singles to date, one new; a second previously-unreleased song; and a couple of album tracks.Needless to say, the majority stem from his most popular albums but there are a few that showcase a talent that was left overlooked for some time. One such track is "Flame Turns Blue", a song originally recorded in 1999 that appears on the "Lost Songs" record. It begins with an acoustic guitar accompanying Gray's stark vocals and slow-builds into an absolutely beautiful ballad, complete with pianos and drums. It's one of those tracks you'll wish you'd discovered earlier and is a highlight of the "Greatest Hits" collection. Likewise, Caroline, a track that is "eccentric" by Gray's own admission, having been written on his computer using lots of blips and bleeps and drum machine sounds. It works surprisingly well. The new single "You're The World To Me" kicks things off in typically solid fashion, effectively showcasing the epic sweep and emotive power of the artist's songwriting and vocals. It nods to the brilliance of "White Ladder" but is unlikely to have the impact "Babylon" had on the masses. And then the hits speak for themselves. "Babylon" hasn't really shown any sign of ageing, "Please Forgive Me" continues to stir the emotions, "Be Mine" is a rousing love anthem, "This Year's Love" remains one for the hopeless romantics, and "Sail Away" offers one of two knee-tremblers, along with "The Other Side". And a live recording of "Shine" also provides a welcome reminder of why Gray is considered such a terrific live artist too. There are some omissions that would have fit in well with the existing selection on the greatest hits compilation, such as "Slow Motion" or some of his earlier works such as "Faster Sooner Now". This fine compilation is predictably satisfying to fans of David Gray. However, assuming that the hardcore followers will already own his fourth album - arguably his best work ever - "Greatest Hits" album is probably more something aimed at the peripheral admirers of the singer.

Every David Gray album is full of great songs. Buy any one of them and you will get something better than this.
