When Allan mentioned that he wanted Ray LaMontagne’s album, I bought him all three albums for Valentine’s Day, but I suppose it’s a gift we can both enjoy.
A cross between Van Morrison and Nick Drake, his enchanting tunes remind me of something from another era. This outstanding artist toured through Tampa last spring and I was pretty bummed when we missed his concert at the Tampa Theatre.
Lately, Ray LaMontagne has been frequently featured on Spectacle.
However, Ray’s appearances on Spectacle have become somewhat of a running joke for Allan and me. It’s as if Elvis stores Ray backstage and brings him out at the end of every show to perform and collaborate with some of the classics, like Richard Thompson.
If you haven’t seen Spectacle: Elvis Costello with…, you are really missing out on some of the most remarkable performances.
And if you haven’t heard of Ray LaMontagne, then you are truly missing out on the best thing.
Where have I been? I’ve never heard of this guy but I love his sound. Thanks for introducing me to him. Like you said, it takes me back to another era.
I would indeed be missing out on something if I didn’t check out this guy. I know Elvis Costello only for his She. And the duet! That’s just awesome.
P.S. That was a really cool comment you left at my MM today. Thanks
She is one of my favorite Elvis Costello songs! 🙂
I like the first and the third, you’re right I kinda hear Van Morrison in his stuff, gotta fave him cuz I think we will hear more of him!
love his voice, and I love let it be me so much!!
Great selection. Same with Hazel, I only know Elvis Costelo for his She. It’s one of my husband’s favorite songs.
Thanks for the visit. Happy MM!
He has an awsome voice, nice choice for MM 🙂
Awesome songs! Coming by from SiTS.
SO I guess they were a hit??
For sure, my friend. Loved them all! 🙂
OMG have I been living under a rock or in a cave? LOL I’ve never heard of him and I love his voice and music. Fantastic choice my friend. Thanks for sharing this. Happy MM to you!
LOL Not to worry, my friend. You won’t hear Ray on the radio, but you can enjoy him here all you want. He really is awesome. LOVE HIM!
