Gossip In The Grain

by: Ray LaMontagne

October 14, 2008
First time I've bought anything by this artist. Since buying it I have kept it in heavy rotation in my car CD player. His voice is very different, and his phrasing is wonderful. In some ways he reminds me of a young Van Morrison. I hope to hear more from him.

Till the Sun Turns Black

by: Ray LaMontagne

August 29, 2006
This is so good it hurts. I have listened to it over and over with rapt attention. The texture is rich, the poetry, thoughtful. The final five tracks create a beautiful sequence, particularly the couplets eight and nine and ten and eleven. Tracks ten and eleven form one song in two movements and create such a haunting experience that I was frightened on my first listening. I cannot recommend this high enough, and this is after a couple months of consistantly listening to this album. It is my favorite LaMontagne album thus far.

Live from Bonnaroo 2005

by: Ray Lamontagne

December 06, 2005
I thought this album was just so so. Ray is an excellent song writer, performer, musician. I think the albums production is pretty bad. It sounds really compressed. Live is hard to do but c'mon. Such a fantastic artist.. They really should have focused on the sound quality.

Jolene

by: Ray LaMontagne

May 14, 2007
I guess the most important point of this review is that this release is not just a "radio edit" of the song...it's a complete re-recording featuring more instruments and even some backing vocals. Somehow, though, it works...a very nice alternative to the original. Plus, it makes eating $10 much easier when you get TWO new songs instead of just one :) The cover of Gnars Barkley's "Crazy" is simply amazing...Ray's voice and interpretation of the song are both top notch. The lyrics really stand out...a compliment to GB and their songwriting. A highly recommended purchase!

Three More Days

I am biased. I like anything Ray LaMontagne sings. To me, his stuff is soul, deep within and I can feel it.

How Come

by: Ray Lamontagne

November 06, 2006
Since discovering Ray Lamontange a year or so ago, I have been blown away by the depth of his lyrics and the emotions his instrumentals add to the mix. This 2 song CD is a great addition for those who have his other CD's or a suberb introduction for those who do not. While the acustic version is very good, the electric version will draw you into his world and his frustration with the priorities in our lives.

The Red Room Volume 4

by: Foo Fighters, Gorillaz, Billy Corgan, Jason Mraz, Doves, Son Volt, Ben Folds, Louis XIV, Bloc Party, Rilo Kiley


I picked this CD up from Target for about $5 several years ago and it introduced me to several new artists of whom I will probably be a lifelong fan. I have never written an Amazon review despite the fact I have been a customer for 10 years and a Prime member for two. I cannot say enough about this CD and I have made several copies over the years for friends. Let me begin with my favorite track - a live version of Bloc Party's "Banquet". The first words to the song - "This song is about sex." I had never heard of this group when I purchased the CD and I now listen to them everyday and have seen them twice in concert. If you are a Bloc Party fan, you should buy this CD just for this song. Howie Day's "Collide" is great - the regular version is passable ... Read More:
