This is the first of Ray Lamontagne’s albums I’ve ever listened to, and I can’t believe what I’ve been missing out on!  I really can’t stop listening to this album.  I love it more each time.  Lately I’ve really been getting over the whole folksy singer-songwriter genre, but this album is more upbeat and interesting than a lot of other music in the genre.  It has a bit of country and rock tastes to it, and he manages to infuse a good deal of emotion into songs that, if sung by anyone else, would probably be sappy and boring.

I think I’m going to have to go out and buy his other albums now.

Damn addictively good music.
