Freaky, just received in mail today Lamontagne's Till the Sun Turns Black, listened to it, and started to wonder whether his other albums are equally awesome.  Was looking on AllMusic and this comes on.

Pretty cool.

Wow!  I think this is fantastic.  Never heard this ... If this (as is eluded to below) is not his best work ... I'm in for a treat.  Can't wait to hear more!

Every time I hear a song from LaMontagne's Pariah Dogs period, I keep wishing I had Bernie Taupin's "Last Stand in Open Country" with the Farm Dogs.  Gooood schtuff.

So if LaMontagne's stuff is "eternal return of the same", then he's not really risk taking, is he? You contradict yourself.

He's just apeing a few specific sounds and styles (Joni, Dylan, and Cocker), not creating his own.

————————————————————————————————————————

Yesterday i watched the "show" the allocation of Music Awards, with the illusion (believer, I) from anyone watching something interesting. Lost time. Very "bright", great "makeup", very "sight of fire", very "glamorous-hollywodesc", (very similar to the production of the Oscars) and about the essence of music, little or nothing. The music industry associated with awards living in a closed circuit. A disappointing hassle. Probably i draw a personal perspective and not very tolerant. It is also true that artists, especially those new talent need to rely on these awards to encourage them and gain prestige and name (M.& Sons). Anyway, this "party" is more like the "Eurovision-Contest" in Europe. But because in the U.S. is worse.
I do not know and i think nobody knows the criteria and strategy for the selection of artists, but it is certainly the purest commercial interest of publishers and industry and the internal market first of all. Not missed until some "Hollywood film stars", swaying hips, and to prove to the snob interest of "being in the hollers" in "wave".
You can also ask why artists like Robert Zimmerman and ´Stone´Jagger lent themselves to brighten the festival ...
well, i know that mediocrity is not contagious, it is not for artists to have prejudices, or establish criteria or scale of values, it is up to the public. Furthermore they were paid to perform on stage. In addition, the organization sought to save and make it attractive a poor spectacle. If RP reflected (only) the criterion of the Awards, it was better to close or never existed. Thank God for RP is guided by other perspectives and values.
And, Ray, do not be disappointed because these ´people of awards´ do not deserve you. Ray La M. have the fact that one of the best musical albums produced in 2010! called "God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise", and that nobody can take away.

I bought "Trouble" because I liked the title song here on RP. Didn't care for it too much.
I like this a lot more. Ray's coming around.
