Ray LaMontagne - Gossip in the Grain
LaMontagne has been a mostly word-of-mouth phenomenon, due to the low-key nature of his music and his own notorious shyness. That may change with the raspy-voiced New England troubadour’s fine third album. Although most of its songs are typically stark, introspective and autumnal in theme, there are a few of rowdy exceptions—including a chugging, train-like blues number—that may boost LaMontagne’s profile higher. Best of all is “Meg White,” a suitably thumping, loving tribute to the White Stripes drummer.
