You know it's Ray LaMontagne as soon as he starts singing. His voice is unmistakable. Yet, his music has not always been the same. For twenty years LaMontagne has journey in may musical directions. I remembered the first time hearing Till The Sun Turns Black, LaMontange's follow up to his wildly popular debut album, Trouble, and being surprised at the right turn he had taken. The singer-songwriter vibe had given way to something more moody, layered, and rich in tone and tenor. 2016's Ouroboros, saw LaMontagne going even farther away from his early days, diving into Pink Floyd' like psychedelica.
Long Way Home, LaMontagne's ninth albums is a return to a simpler form. It's a welcoming album that quickly draws you in and caries you away to a space that feels timeless. LaMontagne has not sounded this great in years.
