iTunes Review

With his road band in tow (bassist Jennifer Condos and guitarist Eric Heywood) and naturalist producer Ethan Johns again manning the recording console, Maine singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne’s third studio album, recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World studio, is another solid collection of reflective, breathy ballads and sweet solemn words from a man who doesn’t allow the technological rush of modern life to interfere with the old world blue-eyed soul of his songs. “Winter Birds,” “Sarah,” and the title track flow with carefully finger-picked nuance and reflections of an early ‘70s vibe that place LaMontagne comfortably next to James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Nick Drake, Harry Nilsson, and Jesse Winchester. Even when he steps up the beat for the tribute to White Stripes drummer “Meg White” or the lurching ramble of “Hey Me, Hey Mamma,” La Montagne still sounds grounded in the sitting room. It’s music that sounds rustic by design, recorded in an intimate room with the occasional organ or pedal steel adding color — and Leona Ness supplying her angelic vocals to two tracks — but always centering on the human pulse, a soothing, lulling backbeat that’s calm and reassuring while the spirit wrestles with its passions.

Just Keeps Getting Better!!!
     

Do your ears a favor and download this now!!! He is incredible, and may be the BEST all-around talent out there today. Writes like Dylan, sounds like Cocker, plays like James Taylor, and has the soul of Otis Redding

He makes exclusively cool music.
     

I know "You Are the Best Thing" left people wondering if Ray's new release would contain more of that over-produced, forced kind of soul with the horns, backup vocals, cheesy music video, etc. But the rest of the album is gorgeous. More of that beautiful, familiar classic American folk sound so that every song sounds like you've heard it before, even though you notice something new every time. If you were a fan of his earlier recordings, get this new one too. You won't be disappointed.

This is a soul test...
     

If you cannot resonate with this chances are you have no soul.


Biography

Born: 1973 in Nashua, NH

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '00s

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...
