[ J Records / CD ]
Release Date: Monday 22 November 2004
A remarkably accomplished and compelling first effort from this 26-year-old singer / songwriter / pianist / guitarist with a winning combination of raw emotion and eloquent songcraft.
Introducing: Gavin DeGraw - a magnetic young artist whose abundant talent and charisma is already well known to New Yorkers.
In a remarkably short time, DeGraw's effortlessly intimate, emotionally intense live performances have made him the toast of Manhattan's downtown music scene, being critically acclaimed, and hailed as a modern day Van Morrison, Billy Joel or Elton John and building public anticipation for the release of his first studio album.
CHARIOT, is a remarkably accomplished and compelling first effort, offering the same combination of raw emotion and eloquent songcraft that originally drew hometown fans to the 26-year-old singer / songwriter / pianist / guitarist's live shows
"Critic's Choice: Chariot announces DeGraw as a major new talent who will be around for years to come. The album captures a live-session feel that keeps the focus on his soulful, blues-tinged voice and true-to-life lyrics. Bottom Line: Hop on this Chariot."
