First time I've bought anything by this artist. Since buying it I have kept it in heavy rotation in my car CD player. His voice is very different, and his phrasing is wonderful. In some ways he reminds me of a young Van Morrison. I hope to hear more from him.

I was looking forward to this album and had a hard time finding it in retail stores- which I thought would be a good sign... but I must admit that since getting it I have not listening to it over and over. This was just an o.k. CD.. I LOVED Trouble and liked Til The Sun Turns Black... and think this one is ok.. I really liked the first single on this CD You are the Best Thing... but did NOT like Meg White and Hey Me Hey Mama at all... just disappointed all in all.

This is an amazing album all around. Ray LaMontagne is a musical genius with an amazing voice and a knack for making amazing songs. This album incorporates sort of a new style into LaMontagne's routine indie style of music. His new fast paced, upbeat songs are a refresher from the norm. (not that we needed one, we like his regular style just as much!) The new songs bring almost a country feel (is it possible?) to LaMontagne's music. This album is not much like his others. To compare it to musically, I would say it is similar to "Raycharles LaMontagne" and somewhat different from "Till The Sun Turns Black" in the type of songs composing the albums.
My favorite song on the album is "I Still Care For You" because it has the same deep, complex, and faraway epic feel as his song "Be Here Now."
I highly recommend this album to anyone who likes any of LaMontagne's music, I never get tired of him. I am very happy with my purchase of "Gossip in the Grain."

I greatly enjoy Ray's previous releases "Trouble" and "Till The Sun Turns Black." Sorry, but I can't say the same about "Gossip In The Grain." While his voice is just fantastic, the songs are not. "Meg White" and "Hey Me, Hey Mama" are the worst of the bunch and are two of the worst songs I have heard in quite some time. The others are OK - - but nothing special. It's all rather dull.

Ray Lamontagne, is an enigma. His voice is breathy and rich and his trademark. His songwriting is brilliant at times. He is a genius at his craft. But, he is not reaching the masses. I found him, oh, several years ago with his first CD, 'Trouble' and his voice and lyrics stirred my soul.
"The Jesus-bearded troubadour is sort of a recluse. He doesn't enjoy doing interviews, refuses to make music videos, and hates reviews of his work--be they positive or negative. But for all the coffeehouse hacks trying to emulate Bob Dylan's verbosity and Van Morrison's impassioned croon, there's the soft-spoken Ray LaMontagne, singing his own wistful tunes without the weight of pretension and the hype of MTV." Joe Tacopina
This CD brings Ray Lamontagne to the fore. He is including a full orchestra. As he said in an interview, "It was time to open up a little bit more, not be quite so reserved in my choice of songs that I wanted to record." His choices in these ten songs are somewhat similar to his first two CD's but tell a story of their own. These songs are richer and more complete.
'You Are The Best Thing'-Best song of the ten and my favorite- backed-up by vocals and this is Ray at his best.
'Let It Be Me'- A traditional Ray song-showcasing his beautiful voice.
'Sarah'- One of the most beautifully written songs- many say he sounds like Nick Drake in this saga.
'I Still Care For You'-The big band background with ... Read More
