Anyone else a big fan of Ray LaMontagne and his debut Trouble that came out in late 2004? It hasn't left my cd player since a friend gave me a copy a few weeks ago. He reminds me a lot of The Band. Seriously this whole album is amazing.

I'm bumping this thread because I just picked up his new album (as well as Trouble), and I haven't listened to anything else since Saturday. I'm completely floored by how lovely his voice is. I've been going through sort of a dry spell with new music lately, but he's as talented a songwriter as I've heard in a long time. 
If you're buying individual tracks, I recommend Empty, Can I Stay, Barfly, and Three More Days from Til the Sun Turns Black, and the title track from Trouble (though that whole album is pretty stellar).

I like his new CD too, I think Lesson Learned might be the best song on it- well it's my favorite as of today. His voice is killer.

Anyone notice something familiar about the cover of Trouble, the quote on the inside of the cover, and the lyrical content of some of the songs?

....at least that's what I got from the recent interview

Exactly. And the cover art is of a devil character dancing with a blindfolded woman. And the quote inside the cover is: : "Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song."
Funny how someone else has represented almost the exact same thing in the exact same way.

I saw him last night, it was pretty amazing-except for some a holes in the audience.
Ray is the complete anti-Bono on stage, he barely speaks and when he does it's a whisper. The most excitement was when he called a guy a fuckhead for yelling out Freebird. I don't understand, if people want to go to a raucous rock show why would they go see someone like him? Some people and what they yelled out, it was so rude. He did To Love Somebody by The Bee Gees as an encore.
I was there early and he walked out of his bus and into the theater and never even looked at anyone. Oh well, he speaks with his voice and music.
I didn't even know he had a wife and/or daughters.
I got this NPR link from his mailing list

I saw him last year and it was one of my favourite concerts. I'd defo buy tickets to see him again if he comes over here.
He was touring with Leona Naess last time as well.

I've liked him for quite awhile and still haven't gotten to see him. The closest show to me this time is on a school night, though

I heard "Let it Be Me" recently and it is gorgeous. Looking forward to hearing the whole thing.

I was hoping I Won't Be Around would finally get a proper release. I've got a few mp3s of it from live shows, but none of them are very good quality. I'm still looking forward to this one, though.
