When I first heard Ray Lamontagne on the radio, the one thought that came to my mind was: Otis Redding. His voice has got soul and there are not many people on this planet that I would compare to Otis Redding.
Ray Lamontagne's latest single "Jolene" off of his debut album Trouble is set for release in the UK on May 7, 2007. (The single is not a cover of Dolly Parton's song "Jolene" by the way.)
Last year I watched Ray Lamontagne perform his single, "Trouble" live at the Top of the Pops studios in London. The other performances that day were by Muse, Guillemots, Ne-Yo, Busta Rhymes and The Fratellis. It was quite an eclectic mix of artists and it's certainly not every day that you get the chance to see them all together in the same place performing for an intimate studio audience.
Before the bands were due to go on, I remember seeing Ray walking around the Top of the Pops studio and also outside in the BBC courtyard area. There were a couple times that I wanted to go up to him to say hi and that I too am a New Englander who once lived in New Hampshire and spent summers in his home state of Maine. But a rumor was going around that he was shy and didn't like "being approached". I'm not sure if it's true or not, but because of it I didn't approach him. Oh well. Maybe another time.
