Ray LaMontagne
Comment:
The story’s too good to be true, but guess what? Ray LaMontagne really was working in a shoe factory when he heard Stephen Stills’ “Treetop Flyer” single and decided that playing folk music wouldn’t be such a bad gig after all. Since then, LaMontagne’s spine-tingling songs have ended up on everything from I Love You, Man (the horn-blasted, soul-infused “You Are the Best Thing”) to Rescue Me (the simmering, sustained notes of “All the Wild Horses”). That’s because his tenderized tunes were tailor made for campfire confessions and thinking about it all until the sun comes up — like Tim Buckley after one too many whiskeys, or Iron & Wine on a road trip to nowhere.
