02 - Ray LaMontagne

Day 2 and i'm already getting snarky commentary about my motives - this being a distraction from tasks like my "thesis"... pshhh! - well Mr. Reineman, you're only half right ; )

At this time, I am going to give Reineman his due credit as the one responsible for first turning me on to such musical gems as Emmylou Harris, Spoon, and Ray LaMontagne. Ray has been his preoccupation as of late, and I must say that it's a good one. So share, I will.

(my first attempt at a quick and dirty synopsis)

Artist: Ray LaMontagne
Style: His voice is definitely the star, great mix of Acoustic/Soul/Folk
How I found it: Friend
Favorite Album: Trouble and Till the Sun Turns Black
Song pick: Jolene

Been so long since I seen your face
Or felt a part of this human race

I've been living out of this here suitcase for way too long

A man needs something he can hold onto

A nine pound hammer or a woman like you

Either one of them things will do





If you haven't discovered NPRs 'All Songs Considered' online concerts yet, here's your first look. (I'd describe more about it, but that's a whole other entry completely).
