DAVID GILMOUR is a 1978 Promo LP release on the Columbia label # JC 35388.  
By the time of David Gilmour's solo debut, he had not only established himself several times over as an underrated, powerful guitarist in Pink Floyd, but as a remarkably emotional singer, his soothing approach perfectly suited to such songs as "Wish You Were Here." The self-titled album was recorded with journeyman bassist Rick Wills and Sutherland Brothers drummer Willie Wilson, later to be part of the touring Floydlineup for its Wall dates. While Gilmour wrote the vast majority of the songs himself, the most successful number was co-written with Unicorn member Ken Baker: " There's No Way Out of Here," an agreeably dreamy, wistful song featuring an attractive acoustic slide guitar/harmonica hook. That it sounds a bit like a Pink Floyd outtake certainly doesn't hurt. Throughout the album Gilmour sounds like he's having some jamming fun with his compatriots in his own particular blues-meets-the Home Counties style, adding keyboard overdubs here and there. Numbers of note include " Cry From the Street," with its fully rocked-out conclusion, the sweetly sad " So Far Away," one of his best vocal showcases, and the concluding " I Can't Breathe Anymore," capturing the recurrent Pink Floyd theme of isolation quite well.
