His voice in unmistakable among a sea of sound alikes. Incredibly soulful with just the right dash of rasp. A voice most of us would die for! The writing and performance is top notch as well.
ray is a perfect example of someone who really knows who they are musically. he got the nalane totally right, if someone else with a less outstanding voice tried this is would just be a standard progression and boring. That voice adds spice baby!
lol i like this version so much better than the album version. i actually recorded this version of the song off youtube in mp3 format when there was a very high quality HD version of this video up, sounds pretty good. message me if anyone wants it :)
Seriously, I don't even particularly love this song, but even with his Unabomber mystique, his voice is so incredibly sexy that he could sing the phone book to me and I'd swoon.
I guess nyxenigma has a little man crush on Ray but when you suck you suck! And this no talent Bozo, SUCK DIDDLEY UCK SUCKS! I'm guessing he gargles with rusty razor blades and bleach, to achieve his vocal technique. He couldn't sing shit if you poured a dump truck full, down his raspy ass throat. He would do the world a favor by cutting his vocal chords and miming his songs. Then at least the poor dogs in his neighborhood, could stop howling. A donkey farting through a kazoo, sounds better!!!!!
Poor nyxenigma, he just found out that Ray isn't gay. Now all he has left is lost hope and a jizz covered poster of Ray. So sorry nyxie, I'm sure you'll find a man's butt to love some day. You big 'ol butt fucking, cock sucking, gay ass BITCH!!!
Light the fuck up chicodinero! Ray sounds great on this track, and hat's off to him for experimenting with new sounds. I love the early stuff, but if he kept on repeating it over and over again, everyone including you would start to fall out of love with him.
i so agree with derekyateswilliamson....ray's earlier stuff like "water from the well," "write you a letter," "acre of land," "lead me on," are some of my favorites even though he disavows some of that stuff today....but it does all kind of run together after a while....with this track i see him as just exploring the other side of the coin he carries...i love it.....
I'm sorry-but clearly you like to hear the same old stripped down, sound that ray has had before. It's good he's finally expanding himself and wrote a melody that doesn't sound like every other song he has. It's new, refreshing and done well ina very contemporary style ray lamontagne.
this is still awesome!!!

My favorite track off of Gossip in the Grain. Even without back up singers, or his full band, LaMontagne still delivers top notch, quality music.

This guy couldn't sing shit, if he had a mouthful of it. Does he have perpetual laryngitis?

i just saw Ray live
he was utter perfection.
even on his off days, he is one of the best live performers.
at any rate, when i saw him, he was 100% on.

This song is growing on me, I dont really care for the horns at the beginning, but I like the rest of the song.

I love this song but the trumpets on the album are so much louder and fuller. These here sound really weak.
Go Ray! Keep making great music dude.
