Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Some singer/songwriters (think Paul Westerberg and Elliott Smith) develop their world-weariness through the unforgiving trials of passing years and the heart-breaking grind of the music business. 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
Description
Debut album from US indie-folk singer-songwriter, who came to music in his late teens after an "epiphany" brought aboutby hearing Stephen Stills's 'Treetop Flyer' on the radio. The album is raw, sparse and ragged, heavily informed by the blues, country and folk, and has received favourable criticism including comparisons to Van Morrison, Hank Williams and Elliott Smith. Produced by alt-country supremo Ethan Johns (Jayhawks, Ryan Adams), it includes the singles 'Trouble' and'How Come'.
