It's a Shame About Ray...



...Charles, that is. Ray LaMontagne, a middle age hippy kinda guy, put out the record Trouble this year, a 10 song knockout freshman effort. Who says you can't be sensitive and good and old? He recorded the guitar and voice at the same time, and then had pros lay down the beats and other instruments. After a healthy dose of Hazelwood and Kristofersson, this guy's got the goods. I'm pleasantly surprised for perhaps the second time this year.
