Ray Lamontagne has a voice that doesn't come around very often. It is rare that you will hear someone with such an amazing tone.
Ray was working in a shoe factory in Maine when he heard a song by Stephen Stills that inspired him to pursue a career in music, and after being around for awhile, he is finally getting some real attention and even grammy nods, and won Best Contemporary Folk Album for his latest release, God Willin' and the Creek Don't Rise.
As always, it's so hard to pick just one song from an artist to represent how great they are. This was the first song of his that I fell in love with, so I figured it would have you hooked too.
Another one of my favorites which is more upbeat is, "You are the Best thing", and Hold you in my arms which is also a more mellow tempo is great too. Really they all are.
Ray was just nominated for song of the year for "Beg, Steal, or Borrow", which you should definitely give a listen.
Enjoy :)
