I sure like the guitar on track #1 immediately. My first non-radio experience listening to Ray. I was just reading about how he got his music on in The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle, Chapter 4, "The Three Rules of Deep Practice", p. 81. The fellow used to work in a shoe factory in Lewiston, Maine, got a bunch of old records by Otis, Etta James, Ray Charles, and sang along in his basement. As an old ax-man myself, well, then, there's still hope for me!! Thanks, Ray, Thanks, God, Thanks, Life!!

There's an interview of Ray in Australia, he explains that in 2001, how instead of a demo song, he and a friend, name escapes me, put together 10 song album instead; apparently this is it....great stuff, sadly can't find it anywhere to buy a CD. When you watch the interview, you understand what he's all about, wholesome, honest and true. Lastly, in that interview, he says his inspiration was listening to Steven Stills music.

I'm not sure why he releases so few copies of albums like these, or cans them altogether. I don't think any of his fans mind if the music is "rougher" or whatever. It's Ray, and it sounds great.

i was in a Barnes and Nobles and heard what sounded like Pink Floyd or David Gilmore (kind of the same thing now days). When i asked the cashier if the music was Floyd, he told me that it was this guy. I wrote his name down. Listening to this, i have to say this is not Floydian. It is shit shoveling music. Not sure if i hate it (i am still listening to it), but it sure doesn't sound like it came from the same musician as that music in the store. A bit disappointed.

+Vin Rector You heard his newest release in the store, 'Ouroboros'. Indeed, his latest is totally different than any other Ray LaMontagne release. I just listened to it on KZbin and thought the same. There are tinges of Pink Floyd type effects in several songs.

“Shit shoveling.” Well, I used to listen to cool music when I cleaned the stalls, so I guess this can be read as a compliment. I will add that Ray’s last 3 albums are my favorites. I dig the Floyd-ish MMJ vibes.
