Music Review: Ray LaMontagne's TROUBLE Demonstrates Rare Musical Artistry
Rating: 5 Stars
The rainforest-rawness of Ray LaMontagne's voice and the music he makes with it, accompanied by his guitar, is so unexpectedly honest and unpretentious that it's hard to imagine TROUBLE as an album that was "produced" at all. It sounds more as if the singer performed each of these 10 songs in their original inspired forms, giving himself with a complete lack of self-consciousness to the smoldering intensity of the opening track, "Trouble," and gently coaxing from strings and his voice the lyrical beauty of the last two songs, "Jolene," and "All the Wild Horses."
LaMontagne is clearly what we like to call an American original. According to IMDB, his first name at birth was Raycharles, as in the late great singer's two names made into one, and LaMontagne seems to possess the same kind of private relationship with music that Charles' did, one that turned him into a public phenomenon. Whether listening to the story-telling artistry of "Narrow Escape" or the jaunty hopefulness in "Forever My Friend," we hear both LaMontagne's own uniquely styled delivery as well as the accumulated legacies of the great blues singers Robert Johnson and folk icons like Bob Dylan. What seems to make the music distinctly LaMontagne's, however, is his individual respect for the creative gift placed in his capable hands. He is as passionate a poet as he is a singer and two combined make a rare and beautiful kind of musical artistry.

Description of Trouble [Vinyl]
Ray LaMontagne emerged in 2004 from a secluded family life in Maine seemingly fully formed as a singer, songwriter and performer. His 2004 debut, Trouble, became one of that year's most acclaimed debuts, spawning an instant classic single in the album's title track.Some singer/songwriters (think Paul Westerberg and Elliott Smith) develop their world-weariness through the unforgiving trials of passing years and the heart-breaking grind of the music business. Others (Van Morrison, Neil Young) seem to have sprung from out of nowhere with the fully formed soul of a life well-lived. Ray LaMontagne belongs with the latter. On this, his debut, LaMontagne has crafted a handful of quietly devastating meditations on life and love--and delivered them with a raspy vocal all his own. The simple, mournful lyrics of "Burn," "Shelter" and the title track recall a Hank Williams ballad, and the reserved production by alt-country/americana genius Ethan Johns (the Jayhawks, Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon) make this a great disc for smoky Saturday nights, and rainy Sunday mornings. --Ben Heege
