Music: Ray LaMontagne
"I guess, what's happening in other parts of the world has to come to your part of the world before you start to wake up."
Then I grabbed my computer to introduce Ray LaMontagne to you (if you don't know of him), and myself.
My introduction to this interesting musician came from the show on Sundance Channel's Live from Abbey Road. I usually listen to the musicians to see what they're about, but fast-forward through much of it because it does not catch my ear (but might catch yours!). His deep, hoarse, strained, full, and soulful voice is unmistakable and hit me immediately.
The words and feeling that is transpiring while watching him perform in this historical recording studio has left me in awe, and now in search for more about this "artist."
From his website:
'The cycle ends with the title song, which decries the absence of myth in the U.S. today. "Our culture is so naked," LaMontagne says, "I feel like we don't have events to fall back on. So many times, I fall into things, and I feel like I wish I had somebody—or a story—to fall back on that would get me through this, that would explain this. I wonder what we will leave behind. It's just the blink of an eye and we're gone. What will people dig up? Works of art? Or Styrofoam cups ?"'
It looks like this music that he is performing beautifully is pouring, no, seeping, out of him.
