Soulful rocker Gavin McGraw follows up his well-received sophomore album with this 2009 release. The overall sound is a little more open and relaxed, with piano-based arrangements replacing the guitar-riffing of previous albums.

Having released his self-titled sophomore album less then a year ago DeGraw quickly went to work on his new project. This time with a different approach to the recording process. He wanted to release a raw, organic-sounding recording that showcases his earthy charm and ever-evolving songwriting talent. That is exactly what we get with "Free" all of Gavin DeGraw. Most of these songs were written very early in DeGraw's career like "Dancing Shoes" & "Glass." He would preform them while on tour and such and he finally got the chance to record them. This is a great set for any Gavin DeGraw fan so, Check it out and BUY YOUR COPY MARCH 31ST!!

Following the success of his major-label debut, CHARIOT (later reissued with a bonus disc of acoustic versions called CHARIOT STRIPPED), New York singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw returns with his self-titled second album. The album is just as ... Full Descriptionmelodic, mellow, and radio-friendly as his debut was, but overall GAVIN DEGRAW features stronger songwriting, as exemplified by the first single "In Love With A Girl" and the tender "Next To Me." Less sleepy than the likes of Jack Johnson or the Dave Matthews Band, Gavin DeGraw is a witty lyricist and tuneful songwriter in the style of Jason Mraz or Barenaked Ladies, both of whom he's toured with.Paste (magazine) (p.63) - "[H]e knows how to bend the notes and go for short vocal runs without overdoing it....Overall the record is easy on the ears."

曾被當代唱片教父Clive Davis大力推存「將是位耀眼新星」、Time Out New York讚譽「來自紐約的秘密武器，他的創作融合Van Moorrison的人文與Billy Joel的細膩。」唱作俱佳的Gavin DeGraw，深受年輕樂迷的愛戴，「美國偶像」歌唱比賽四至六季連續三屆都出現翻唱高頻率，就連人氣小王子傑西麥卡尼在台灣舉行電視小型演唱會中，特別挑選Gavin出道之動人小品「Follow Through」重新演繹。

紐約出生的Gavin，從小就在家庭灌輸音樂訊息下成長，八歲開始學習鋼琴，學生時期的Gavin與哥哥合組翻唱樂團，在紐約當地表演，利用這個歷練，一邊累積多元樂器演奏技巧，一邊撰寫屬於自己的創作歌曲。於2003年夏天早已問世的《Chariot》，掩沒在新人如過加之鯽的流行樂壇中，就在結合青春無敵的偶像劇情節，新生代俊男美女的賞心悅目之組合，獲得全美收視率極佳的電視影集「One Tree Hill」青睞，將「I Don’t Want To Be」成為重點主題襯樂，迅速於2004年夏季挺進全美單曲榜Top10，熱潮未退的再將同名單曲「 Chariot」推上流行榜Top30，經過一年的銷售大逆轉，唱片公司立刻改版再推出《Chariot－Stripped》，攻上熱門潛力榜冠軍＋流行專輯榜No.56，銷售突破百萬大關。

經過四年的沉澱，以同名專輯《Gavin DeGraw》二度再出發，空降美國Top7，請到搖滾界炙手可熱的大師Howard Benson （My Chemical Romance、P.O.D.、Papa Roach）全權操盤。描述一段千古不朽愛情故事的「We Belong Together」，配合電影「崔斯坦與伊索德／Tristan And Isolde」早於2006年率先暖身發行，安排在現代的抒情搖滾音韻中，強化更多耐人聆聽的順暢音符；主打歌「In Love With A Girl」，交雜在隆隆吉他彈奏與Gavin高亢靈韻詮釋下，已快速爬上美國成人抒情榜Top8＋流行榜Top24之林中；完美呈現一支動人Piano Rock的「Cop Stop」，力度與旋律分量充足的平衡搭配，Gavin真假音轉換以及熱血演繹方式，皆替此曲增添回味且激昂之觸感；母親是位勒戒專家，面對越趨年輕化的毒品氾濫之問題而寫下「Medicate The Kids「，登上新世代的反毒主題歌；精緻動聽的「Untamed」、「 Let It Go」，同為Gavin更趨成熟自信的表徵。
