RAY LaMONTAGNE

If you haven't heard Ray LaMontagne yet, you owe it to yourself to check him out. I've seen him twice in the past two weeks and I can't get over how powerful he is. He's so pure, it's arresting.

People ask me all the time what artists I'm listening to, and what I think of certain singers or bands out there.
I think Ray LaMontagne is as brilliant as any artist that has ever lived.

Wait, let me think about that again. That came off pretty bold.

Nope, that's still what I want to say. Ray LaMontagne is as brilliant as any artist that has ever lived.

And he's getting better; tighter, more focused, more self-assured.

But what happens to the back catalog of an artist that begins to truly break through on his third record? What happens to the brilliant songs that define Ray LaMontagne's lineage as a writer and a performer?

I took to iTunes and created an iMix of songs I know you'll love from Ray's previous two albums. Like musical Cliff's Notes.


Catching Up With Ray LaMontagne

If you want to know a songwriter's songwriter, and a singer's singer, it's Ray.
I should be writing songs when his CDs are playing.


ENJOY.
