Chariot is the debut studio album by singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw, first released on July 22, 2003, on J Records. It was re-released in 2004 as Chariot (Stripped), which featured two discs, the first containing the original Chariot album and the second disc featuring "stripped-down" (made simply and with minimal instrumentation) studio recordings of all of the original songs, as well as a cover of Sam Cooke's "Change Is Gonna Come". The album was successful and was later certified Platinum in the United States.
