David Gray in concert, 2010

Ahead of his 2009 release "Draw the Line," Gray said he was hungry for more from his music career: "More heart. More soul. More songs. More life." Gray followed up with his album "Foundling," less than a year later, a release that included eight previously unreleased songs as a bonus.
