Others (Van Morrison, Neil Young) seem to have sprung from out of nowhere with the fully formed soul of a life well-lived. Ray LaMontagne belongs with the latter. On this, his debut, LaMontagne has crafted a handful of quietly devastating meditations on life and love--and delivered them with a raspy vocal all his own. The simple, mournful lyrics of "Burn," "Shelter" and the title track recall a Hank Williams ballad, and the reserved production by alt-country/americana genius Ethan Johns (the Jayhawks, Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon) make this a great disc for smoky Saturday nights, and rainy Sunday mornings. --Ben Heege Average Rating:

Ray Lamontagne "Trouble" is worth the "effort". Snap it up while you can. The originality is "priceless". Rating: - FantasticI bought this album based on the strength of just one song...I was so happily suprised to find the entire album was great. There are not a lot of albums I enjoy listening to start to finish; When I find one I put it on my "desert island" short list--this album made it there right away. The songs are simple, well crafted and beautiful. LaMontagne's voice is gorgeous and can run from mournful to joyful in three songs. He cites both Otis Redding and CSNY as influences and both are apparent on different ... Read More Rating: - TroubleI bought this cd after only hearing one track, Trouble. The rest of the album is haunting and sexy. I love it! Rating: - beautiful voiceWhat a gorgeous voice this man has. I love this album - it's soulful and great to relax to. My favorite tracks are Trouble and Hannah. Rating:  - TroubleThis is a great album. From 'Trouble' to 'Shelter' to 'How Come,' I am just blown away by all the tracks. |
