Customer Reviews

overproduced single... hopefully not album

The horns are brazen and crass next to the smooth vocals, the gospel back-up leaves Ray's voice sounding isolated and diminished, and the ridiculous tempo drags it all into chaos. When you have a gem to start with, less is more. An acoustic version would be amazing. I was so anxious to hear anything new from Ray but I refuse to buy the single. I pray the album has more to offer.

Differently delicious!

I am so grateful they released a single (October seems like a long time to wait for the full album!)...I was suprised by the soulful peppy tone of this version, having only heard his acoustic ballad live version (which is gorgeous too). I love it!

...don't listen to the masses Ray

Great artist progress, explore new sounds, new genres and push artistic limits. Who wants to see a Picasso paint the same styled painting over and over again? Ray shows his versatility on this new single. He shows us that he can bring the powerful mood and emotion from his first more subdued folk albums, to the arena of 70’s soul. The detractors and fans urging Ray to continue writing songs with just him and his acoustic guitar don’t understand that real artist push themselves to create new sounds, new pieces of art, even if it means selling less records to the masses who seem to always scream…"give us more of the same.” Don’t listen to them Ray, don’t ever listen to them.

Biography

Born: 1973 in Nashua, NH

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '00s, '10s

With a voice that recalls a huskier, sandpaper version of Van Morrison and Tim Buckley, Ray LaMontagne joins such artists as Iron & Wine in creating folk songs that are alternately lush and intimately earthy. The songwriter was born in Nashua, New Hampshire in 1973; his parents split up shortly after his birth, and his mother began a pattern of moving her six children to any locale that could offer her employment and housing. As a result, LaMontagne grew up as the perennial new kid in school...
