Ghost of David
Ghost of David is an album by the singer-songwriter Damien Jurado, released in 2000 on Sub Pop. The title comes from a dream Jurado had in which his friend and former bandmate David Bazan had died. Critical reception. AllMusic wrote: "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." "No Depression" wrote that "'Ghost In The Snow' and 'Paxil' see Jurado at his best, music and meaning waltzing with each other in a  death march that is fascinating to behold." "Trouser Press" called "Ghost of David" "a powerful, haunting album that should be kept far, far away from depressives." "SF Weekly" called it "a gracefully stripped-down mix of personality and invention, a record in the powerful, simple vein of Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska"."
