Ray LaMontagne

I've just got back from his gig in Sheffield and it's got to be one of the most powerful gigs I've been too, emotions-wise. He played at City Hall to an audience of roughly 700-1000 so it wasn't huge by any means, but you could almost hear the anguish and pain in his voice and guitar playing. He's got a really unique voice and a fantastic songwriting ability, and it was a real privilege to be able to see him play tonight

Anyone here a fan of Ray or been to one of his gigs?

The other album is "Til The Sun Turns Black" and I prefer it over Trouble - some fantastic songs on the album and even a bit of funk. (Three More Days)

Just put it on now, going to be a good morning

Think so, aye. Having said that I only got into him a few weeks ago from a last FM recommendation

He sang Trouble really strongly at Sheffield actually! Best song had to be "Three More Days" though, because it's a bit more funky and he puts just as much emotion into it. (I think YouTube has a Hootenanny version of it which isn't bad at all)
