Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream

CSV favorite David Gray has ended his hiatus and has returned with his much-anticipated 8th proper LP Draw the Line, due out September 22nd.  Having not released any new recordings since 2005, Gray decided to turn over a new leaf with Draw the Line: he actually self-produced this album, and put together a new band to back him up. Listeners will be thrilled to hear that the likes of Annie Lennox and Jolie Holland will be featured on this album as well! For a track listing of the album, go here.

In order to kick off Draw the Line, Gray has released the single “Fugitive” which can be streamed below. As the story goes, “Fugitive” was written as Gray felt trapped in the studio recording songs for Draw the Line. The result? A delightful, forward-looking song that showcases Gray’s surprisingly great vocal stylings and his unique ability of effectively communicating ideas to his listeners. What with the raindrop piano and the appearance of an electric guitar in “Fugitive”, Draw the Line looks to be very promising.

He will also be making a quite extensive tour of the US (see dates below), so maybe he’ll be coming near you!
