Info:- One of the most distinctive voices in music, lauded singer\/songwriter and BRIT Award nominee releases his much-anticipated third album, his most creative and emotionally expansive collection to date. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e AMAZON \u003cbr\u003e Gossip in the Grain, Ray LaMontagne's third full length, is a slightly different record from 2007's Till the Sun Turns Black. But then that album was of course a move on from his 2004 debut, Trouble. Obviously creative progression is a large part of LaMontagnes vision, which chimes well with that of his pal and producer Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Ryan Adams). On Gossip in the Grain, they offer a rainbow mix of mellow \"Bonnie Prince Billy\"-style Americana, brassy Memphis soul and meandering folk. The horn-fuelled opener \"You Are the Best Thing\", gets the record off to a flying start, but LaMontagne soon settles into a more introspective groove with the folksy \"Let It Be Me\" and the more expansive \"Sarah\", a tune that wouldnt be out of place on Van Morrison's Astral Weeks. LaMontagne continues to careen casually across a plethora of styles, from the psychedelic \"I Still Care for You\", and the upbeat \"Meg White\", (an ode to the White Stripes drummer), to the catchy banjo-and-trumpet of \"Hey Me, Hey Mama\". Infectiously free-wheeling yet beautifully focused, this is arguably LaMontagnes most career-defining album to date. --Paul Sullivan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56330048373110,"sku":"0886973267011","price":36.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_712077_2583806_20250923012404.jpg?v=1768853851","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0886973267011-gossip-in-the-grain","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
