Features The Drifter, You're The Bomb and The Late Song (Je Ne Suis Pas Mort).

"If David Poe is exploring the mystery of pop," read the press release, "The Late Album is his searchlight." His second effort was recorded on the fly between tours of North America, Europe, and Japan.

"A sophisticated city breed, “ wrote Q magazine. “Articulate accounts of edgy situations are Poe's forté, his breathy voice and jaunty strum often disguising some acidic lines." The NME said, "Poe likes to shade his confessionals and storytelling with beautiful, lush, guitar-underpinned music."

Begun before the events of September 11 in New York with Grammy-winning producer Steve Rosenthal and finished in Nashville with producer Brad Jones thereafter, The Late Album rendered some notable moments: The Drifter became a crowd favorite and appeared in several films and TV shows; You're The Bomb shows Poe beginning to master the extended metaphor in song; The Late Song (Je Ne Suis Pas Mort) seemed to be a missive sent from the afterlife, which would become an ongoing motif.

The London Independent likened his songs to “miniature novels.” In Germany, Rolling Stone awarded The Late Album a coveted four star review, and Poe picked up the award for Best New Artist from the National Critics Poll Award.
