Gavin Degraw's Chariot Stripped is a soulful remastering of his already exceptional debut album. The most gratifying aspect of listening to this CD is that the listener can actually hear the love Gavin has for his craft in his voice. You can almost feel the pleasureable pain he experiences while hitting the strongest notes. Chariot Stripped showcases Gavin's talent as a live performer; anyone who has never seen him live will certainly be compelled to immediately check his tour schedule. I could not have asked for anything more out of this CD. It cements Gavin as one of, if not my absolute, favorite artists. Well done, Mr. DeGraw.
