I just got his cd "Trouble" yesterday and after listening to it for 5 minutes, I knew it was something special. His lyrics are moving and powerful. Intimate. He has only made 4 cd's, but has the talent of Bob Dylan!

The recording is excellent. Natural sounding....

For $5.50 used on Amazon this is a no brainer. Check it out: http://www.amazon.com/Trouble-Ray-LaMontagne/dp/B0002S947K/ref=pd_krex_shvl_1

    I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but I had heard him a hundred times before actually seeing what he looked like, and was amazed that he was a scrawny bearded white guy. Would have bet serious money he was a big black guy.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I have all of his cd's his newest one, is still in my rotation. It is actually better then the trouble cd. Gossip is also another amazing cd. I have the LP of that one actually LOL.

    I guess the commercial they are using his songs in now is finally helping get some of his music out..

    Every time i have seen him though he sells out. I have seen him 5 times live.

    One time he had the best line ever. Now for people who have not seen him live, he hardly says a word. Just comes out and pours his heart out into his music.
    Some guy from the audience yells out " Speak to us Ray, Say something to us" Ray walks over by him and says
    " what the fu#K do you think i have been doing for the last hour"

    BRILLIANT!!

    I saw him in November.He opened the show for the Levon Helm band.Fantastic performer.When Levon Helm asks you to tour with him,that's saying something!! Check him out,you probably won't be disappointed.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    I love the latest release, God Willin and The Creek Don't Rise.
    Arguably my favourite release of 2010.

    I am going to agree still on my rotation. I can't get sick of it.

    I'll have to put his latest cd on my short list- especially if it is the same caliber or better than "Trouble".

    It's nice to see all his work start to pay off! I really hadn't paid much attention to him until his latest album got some airplay on stations I still listen to. I then picked up his other CD's. All of them of good.

    Am listening to his "Trouble" CD right now. Dad discovered him sometime last semester, so I ripped the CD while I was at home over break. Dad's certainly very impressed. We'll see what I think soon enough!
