Black Ray of Sunshine
Was watching the movie 'A Lot Like Love' the other day ... (sweet, real, happy ending) and came across the song 'Trouble' by Ray Lamontagne. There was something about his voice that captivated me. Seems to sing from his soul. Absolutely haunting. After a long time, heard a song that stirred something inside me. Simple lyrics but powerful delivery.
Ended up trawling the net to get the best deal on 'A Lot Like Love' (album had other good songs) and also bought 'Till The Sun Turns Black' by Ray Lamontagne. This second album turned out to be as brilliant as the song 'Trouble' (which by the way is NOT in this album :)) 'Empty', 'Barfly' and 'Three More Days' are riveting.
Brilliant cover art on CD. Minimalistic... black... purrrfect!
Don't miss it!

Music has a way permeating through your sensitivity from poignance to exhiliration.It takes you to a territory, completely unknown, unfelt, untouched, and unclouded.It is revitalizing and pernicious at the same time...It is truly a wonder.....Promoting good music is divine. BRAVO....

have listened to both albums a million times since I bought them in April (were delivered in May), now I FEEL every syllable he sings with the same intensity with which he sings 'em.....thanks!!!
