David Gray - Draw The Line - Downtown

Over 10 years since the release of White Ladder, the man who brought us "Babylon" returns with arguably his most engaging collection of songs since that 1999 breakthrough album.

Johnny Rodeo – is quickly developing a reputation as one of music's best and brightest, and this album certainly shows why.
