Chariot is the debut studio album by singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw, first released in 2003 on J Records. It was re-released in 2004 as Chariot (Stripped), which included all of the original Chariot content as well as a bonus disc. The bonus material was "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.
