Yes that right, our first review, its gonna be a quick and fast one. Lamontagne released a new album Gossip in the Grain about one year ago. Not many people know of this musical genius and his songs, but you may be familar with the song Trouble. Trouble was recently featured in the Travelers Insurance commercial. Anyways enough said about the past, this guy is amazing, he is one of my favorite artists. Gossip in the Grain is an amazing album. If you are looking for something that is soothing, but at the same time gives you the vibe of the 60's/70's, then this is your CD. I cannot say one bad thing about this guy. Ray is one of those guys who can throw down an amazing deep cut. For example there is a local station here in Colorado that records live versions of singers, song writers from around the world. This local station KCBO 97.3 recorded Ray singing Three More Days ( which isn't from Gossip in the Grain) , but the recording turned out to be one of the best live sets that I have ever heard. Rolling Stone gave Gossip in the Grain 3/5 stars, but I'm going to have to disagree with Rolling Stone here I'm giving Gossip in the Grain 4/5. Yes the album isn't perfect, but its pretty close. Give his music a shot, because you wont regret it, because like Ray says, Let it be Me, but in his case him.
