Release Notes:
Ray LaMontagne was born in New Hampshire, but as he put it, his
family was "just passing through." His parents split up shortly
after his birth, and his mother began a pattern of moving her six
children wherever she could find employment and housing, which
meant LaMontagne grew up as the perennial new kid in school (when
and if he went to school at all). He did graduate high school,
however, and found himself working in a shoe factory in Maine
when he heard Stephen Stills' "Tree Top Flyer" on the radio. The
song amounted to an epiphany for LaMontagne, and he made up his
mind on the spot to become a singer and musician.
By the summer of 1999 he had put together a ten-song demo tape
of his songs, and that demo found its way into the hands of
Jamie Ceretta at Chrysalis Music Publishing. The publishing
house signed the young songwriter and teamed him with producer
Ethan Johns in the studio, resulting in LaMontagne's debut
album, Trouble, which was picked up by RCA Records and released
in the fall of 2004. With a voice that sounds at times like a
huskier, sandpaper version of Van Morrison or Tim Buckley and a
tight, emotional writing style, LaMontagne impressed critics
with such songs as the title tune, "Trouble," and the cinematic
style of pieces like "Narrow Escape."
Ray's next album, "Till The Sun Turns Black", is scheduled to be
released in late summer.
