Ray Lamontagne has all of us at Rascal Records listening to every word and melody. His newest follk-rock album, Till The Sun Turns Black is the latest cd, and is substantially more polished than his first commercial offering, Trouble, produced in early 2004. But don't get us wrong. Both album efforts are highly worthwhile and recommended for anyone who loves provocative lyrics, thoughtful delivery, and heartfelt melodies.

If you ever have an opportunity to see his show, we recommend you do it! Althought Ray LaMontagne has focused his recent touring in Europe, don't despair. With a little luck and perserverance, you may be able to find a performance coming to your town. Check his web site for touring updates and information. This is one artist we thinnk you will want to see!
