A Century Ends earned David Gray a reputation as a Welsh-accented Bob Dylan. The comparison is fitting, given both singers' penchant for plaintive, poetic lyrics and powerful balladry. Unlike Dylan, though, David Gray possesses a voice that is exceptionally warm and inviting. From the solemn "Gathering to Dust" to more upbeat rockers like "Wisdom," Century showcases the young Gray's vocal versatility as well as his gift for clever wordplay. Backed mainly by acoustic guitar, Gray infuses each song on this debut with passion and intelligence, hinting at a promising career ahead.
