Free Music Review: Takes my breath away
Hit: 5 Stars
Whenever I listen to Ray LaMontagne I am taken away to a different place- a different planet. There are few artists that have the ability to do that for me. His voice, his lyrics, the way the music wraps around everything is simply stunning. There are no other words to truly explain it.
My favorite song on the album is "Empty." I remember the first time I played that song for a friend of mine- he had tears in his eyes after it was over telling me that he could "feel the pain in the song, and that it was beautiful."
"lay your blouse across the chair,
let fall the flowers from from your hair
and kiss me with that country mouth, so plain.
outside, the rain is tapping on the leaves,
to me it sounds like they're applauding us the the quiet love we made.
will i always feel this way?
so empty, so estranged."
Till the Sun Turns Black Poster
How do you follow a debut record that achieved out-of-the-blue grandeur on its way to selling a quarter of a million copies? For Maine's Ray LaMontagne, it's all about shaking up the formula, evading repetition and delivering the unexpected. Till the Sun Turns Black finds the introspective singer/songwriter complementing his folk-country ways with traces of strings and horns and spooky soulful background voices. Songs like "You Can Bring Me Flowers" and "Three More Days" are the most R&B-influenced, the latter shuffling about ala The Band or Tony Joe White. Despite its brooding lyrics, "Empty" has a rollicking, almost breezy delivery, a perfect balance to either the hushed title track, the unnerving "Be Here Now" or the horn-fortified waltz, "Gone Away From Me." Throughout the 11-song sequence, and especially on the final song "Within You," LaMontagne's voice remains the record's most crucial element, as vibrant as it is tattered and as harsh as it is flawless. --Scott HolterFolk Music CDs
