Ray Lamontagne – Gossip In The Grain (2xLP)

With his remarkable, rough hewn vocals and evocative, finely etched songs, Ray LaMontagne has become the rare artist for whom the world waits to see what each new work will reveal. On his much anticipated third album, the singer and songwriter has crafted a warm and welcoming record, touching upon a range of styles. Gossip In The Grain proves to be LaMontagne's most creative and emotionally expansive collection to date.
