Ghost Of David

Ghost of David, the third album by Damien Jurado, is now available on vinyl and cassette for the first time. Originally released September 19th, 2000, Ghost of David has sold over 13,000 copiesto date. Damien Jurado is an urban-folk singer with his hand in the baskets of all the right fringe genres. He’s a storyteller, and the stories have matured steadily since he first appeared on the scene with the perfect balance of lighthearted pop and saddest of the sad on his early singles and first full-length, Waters Ave S. Since then, (with his second full-length, Rehearsals for Departure, the Gather in Song EP (both from 1999), and this year’s collection of found recordings, Postcards and Audio Letters) he’s moved more toward the dark, and if you ask him, he’ll tell you point blank that it’s in the dark where you’ll find us all.

The first eight words Seattle folkie Damien Jurado sings on his third LP proper, Ghost of David, masterfully sum up ...

Another strong collection of urban folk songs from Damien Jurado, Ghost of David builds on the gentle, friendly loneliness of Rehearsals for Departure and deepens it with a spiritual, often otherworldly feel.
