Summary: He did it again
Comment: Another excellent album by Ray Lamontagne, his third. His first, Trouble, though still more than worth the money, was at times inconstent. He hit a home run with his second album, "Till the Sun Turns Black," a magnificent collections of songs. Not even a so-so one in the bunch. With "Gossip in The Grain," he's gone a step up. Intelligent, insightful lyrics, mesmerizing melodies, and just the right amount of rasp to his voice to really show off the emotion. Actually, though, I think the weakest song on the album is the first song. I burned a copy, moving the 1st to last, and I prefer it much more that way. My oppinion. But there's no doubt, it's an album worth owning -- played in any order.

Summary: Interesting talent, with a dynamic voice.
Comment: First time I've bought anything by this artist. Since buying it I have kept it in heavy rotation in my car CD player. His voice is very different, and his phrasing is wonderful. In some ways he reminds me of a young Van Morrison. I hope to hear more from him.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I was looking forward to this album and had a hard time finding it in retail stores- which I thought would be a good sign... but I must admit that since getting it I have not listening to it over and over. This was just an o.k. CD.. I LOVED Trouble and liked Til The Sun Turns Black... and think this one is ok.. I really liked the first single on this CD You are the Best Thing... but did NOT like Meg White and Hey Me Hey Mama at all... just disappointed all in all.

Summary: Ray LaMontagne turns out a great album (Again)
Comment: This is an amazing album all around. Ray LaMontagne is a musical genius with an amazing voice and a knack for making amazing songs. This album incorporates sort of a new style into LaMontagne's routine indie style of music. His new fast paced, upbeat songs are a refresher from the norm. (not that we needed one, we like his regular style just as much!) The new songs bring almost a country feel (is it possible?) to LaMontagne's music. This album is not much like his others. To compare it to musically, I would say it is similar to "Raycharles LaMontagne" and somewhat different from "Till The Sun Turns Black" in the type of songs composing the albums.
My favorite song on the album is "I Still Care For You" because it has the same deep, complex, and faraway epic feel as his song "Be Here Now."
I highly recommend this album to anyone who likes any of LaMontagne's music, I never get tired of him. I am very happy with my purchase of "Gossip in the Grain."
Customer Rating:
Summary: Dull
Comment: I greatly enjoy Ray's previous releases "Trouble" and "Till The Sun Turns Black." Sorry, but I can't say the same about "Gossip In The Grain." While his voice is just fantastic, the songs are not. "Meg White" and "Hey Me, Hey Mama" are the worst of the bunch and are two of the worst songs I have heard in quite some time. The others are OK - - but nothing special. It's all rather dull.
