The new Ray LaMontagne album Till The Sun Turns Black was released yesterday, and after a few listens, my opinion is that it is pretty damn good. My father actually introduced me his last album Trouble after he heard a song from it on a United Airlines flight last year. Since then I’ve become a big fan of Ray’s hushed crooning and acoustic-based tunes.

If you are a fan of LaMontagne, you will not be disappointed by his new album. It is a little more textured than his previous stuff, but it’s as good as anything he’s done. You know, warm and intimate songs perfect for dimly lit rooms. And as IGIF pointed out recently, at least he’s not making shoes anymore. Also check out Heather’s post (they all are) for rare Ray LaMontagne goodies.
