Summary: Sold! New Fan. 2008-12-01
Comment: I had never heard of Ray LaMontagne before Amazon's recommendation engine pointed out to me that people frequently bought Martin Sexton's "Solo" along with "Gossip in the Grain." I'm a huge fan of Martin Sexton since about a year ago, and looking for more amazing folk/rock music to experience.
So I sampled a few tracks before downloading mp3s for "You are the Best Thing" and "Let It Be Me." Repeated playings of these tracks quickly lead to buying the rest. (And then regretting not buying the physical CD.) Love the whole album, listening to it many times the past couple of days, and now waiting eagerly for his first two albums to be delivered.
The songs really move me. Emotional, honest, real. Ray's voice is superb. "I Still Care For You" didn't click right away, but I quickly grew to appreciate it along with the rest. I don't understand the hate for "Meg White" in other reviews -- it's another good tune and a nice change of pace. "Winter Birds" also good. Mellow, yet engaging. (I don't really know what that means.) All the tunes are awesome. So glad to have found this artist and that I have more to look forward to.

Summary: Solid from start to finish 2008-11-26
Comment: We have all of his music and he's done it again. This is perhaps the best of his releases. We just saw him live also and he's just as good in concert. If you are an old fan or new, you will find this is one talented artist and this latest cd is on the mark...

Summary: Ray is Right On 2008-11-25
Comment: Gossip in the Grain is a great CD. The music is both relaxing and energizing. La Montagne's voice is one of kind. His lyrics are smart, witty, sad, sharp, lyrical, and pertinent. Everyone I've played the CD for has really enjoyed it even though none of them had ever heard of La Montagne before.
