Ray LaMontagne to Release New Album

i just had rumor confirmed that ray lamontagne is indeed set to release his third full-lenth studio album on rca records september 9th. unlike his two previous works, which were both pretty stripped down solo creations, gossip in the grain will feature ray joined by his traveling band members, bassist jennifer condos and bassist eric heywood. he is also joined on two tracks by singer songwriter leona naess. having seen ray perform live with condos and heywood, i am so incredibly excited to see what they are able to put together in the studio. lamontagne is one of the few artists that can say absolutely nothing in a live performance and still have the entire audience captivated for the duration of the set. so be excited about more great music coming your way. and do not miss an opportunity to see lamontagne live.

tracklisting:
1. let it be me
2. hey me, hey mama
3. sarah
4. i still care for you
5. winter birds
6. meg white
7. achin’ all the time
8. henry nearly killed me (it’s a shame)
9. a falling through
10. gossip in the grain

if the gnarls barkley cover i posted a few weeks ago wasn’t enough to convince you to buy all of his records, this video surely will.
