If I were uber-rich, I would pay Ray Lamontagne (pronounced Lay-mon-tane) to follow me through a golden wheat field at dawn while singing and playing his guitar. This folk-rock artist produces melodies that can be compared to Van Morrison’s more mellow songs. You know, the ones that make you want to nap under a willow tree.Ray’s raspy but soft vocals go hand-in-hand with his lyrics, which are often romantic and about a woman. He has released three albums: Trouble, Till The Sun Turns Black and Gossip in the Grain. I personally enjoy all three, but it’s best to start with Trouble.
Some of his appeal comes from the fact that he is a very ordinary guy with a private life. Everyone can find something about Ray that they can relate to. For me, it’s reading Fantasy books in the forest. For you, it’s probably working in a shoe factory and having a violent, dead-beat father.
Enjoy!
