iTunes Exclusive

Released in late 2002 as a digital-only exclusive for the fledgling iTunes Store, this EP captures David Gray at a pivotal moment in his career. Following the massive global success of 'White Ladder' and the release of 'A New Day at Midnight,' this collection served as a bridge back to his purely acoustic roots. The tracklist is a mix of high-profile covers, such as Van Morrison's 'And It Stoned Me' and John Lennon's 'Real Love,' alongside reimagined versions of his own staples like 'Please Forgive Me.' Sonically, the EP is a departure from the 'folktronica' sound he popularized, opting instead for a dry, intimate production style that emphasizes the texture of his vocal cords and the resonance of his acoustic guitar. Critically, it is viewed as a 'fan-only' treasure that highlights Gray's interpretive skills, particularly his ability to imbue classic rock standards with his signature brand of melancholic yearning.
