Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Some singer/songwriters (think Paul Westerberg and Elliott Smith) develop their world-weariness through the unforgiving trials of passing years and the heart-breaking grind of the music business. Others (Van Morrison, Neil Young) seem to have sprung from out of nowhere with the fully formed soul of a life well-lived. Ray LaMontagne belongs with the latter. On this, his debut, LaMontagne has crafted a handful of quietly devastating meditations on life and love--and delivered them with a raspy vocal all his own. The simple, mournful lyrics of 'Burn,' 'Shelter' and the title track recall a Hank Williams ballad, and the reserved production by alt-country/americana genius Ethan Johns (the Jayhawks, Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon) make this a great disc for smoky Saturday nights, and rainy Sunday mornings. --Ben Heege Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The sound your heart makes when it achesI love this album. I love it in a way that makes it a soundtrack for those rainy nights when I want to do nothing else but stay in with the woman I love. This is a passionate album. Rating: - Awesome ListeningThis album so very soulful in a truly heartful kinda way. It makes your soul sing outloud. Rating: - Great CDSome reviewers have compared Ray Lamontagne to Van Morrison and I would have to agree. This CD is soothing feel good music. Rating:  - Yeah, Right.Mellow, artificial singer - average songwriter. Listen to "All The Wild Horses" A work of simple genius. The rest are all immediately forgettable. Dylan..?! Morrison..?! Yeah, right, we should be so lucky. This generation is so desperate for a new Dylan, they try to create one every few years. Rating: - AMAZING!This is such a great CD! I have not stopped listening to it since the day it came...start to finish it's awesome! |
