I was in Vermont with friends when I encountered the music of Ray LaMontagne apres ski, whose Trouble sat me down again.  We listened to Mr. Montagne over the course of an evening in varying states of fireside, conversation, play and a drink.  I have been listening to this songwriter since.  I saw The Devil Wears Prada yesterday, and Mr. Montagne’s How Come is suddenly his biggest itune hit go figure.  I’ve got other favorites aside from this old school Mason redux, but any attention paid to Mr. Montagne is good enough for me as I just want his songs to pay his way and help him write more.  I paint to you Ray, well done.
