If Ray Lamontagne is new to you, I would suggest starting with 'Til the Sun Turns Black. It's definitely my favorite. Have a great night, friends. :) xoxo Katie

Music Monday: Ray Lamontagne
Oh, Ray Lamontagne. That voice, those lyrics, that emotion... wrap it all into one pretty cd and you may be crying by the end. Ray's music is very personal and special to me. Sometimes I feel embarrassed saying that because he's a perfect stranger (besides the time I saw him in concert), but his music can evoke such strong feelings in me. I guess that is proof of a really great songwriter.

My husband and I walked out of the chapel as husband and wife to "you are the best thing" by ol' Ray. It was the perfect, joyous song to start out our marriage with. I still get teary when I hear it.
ReplyDelete"Baby we've come a long way. Baby, you know I hope and I pray that you believe me when i say, this love will neeeeeeeeeva fade away"

Someone made me a mix with Meg White on it and I listen to it pretty much every day while I'm commuting to work on the subway. I've always loved his voice and keep meaning to look him up and see what he's about. You've convinced me!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is totally lovely. I guess I've been hiding under a rock because in addition to Ray, I hadn't been over here before.
OK, I'm inspired! Off to check out Mista LaMontagne. Thanks!!
I love his music so much! You should check out Robert Francis - I did my very first music monday on him here: http://ofmultitudes.blogspot.com/2010/03/music-monday-01.html
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me a LOT of Ray Lamontagne and I think you will adore him!
I love Ray! I think my favorite song is Hold You in My Arms.
ReplyDelete'Be Here Now'.... One of my all time favorite songs...ever. We used it for one of our ladies conferences as our theme song. So beautiful!
