Ghost of David is an album by the singer-songwriter Damien Jurado, released in 2000 on Sub Pop. [3] [4]
The title comes from a dream Jurado had in which his friend and former bandmate David Bazan had died. [5]
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." [1] 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." [6] Trouser Press called Ghost of David "a powerful, haunting album that should be kept far, far away from depressives." [5] 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." [7]
