The names that leap to mind and ear as soon as one hears this debut album are many and of a certain calibre: Van Morrison, Neil Young, Tim Buckley, Otis Redding, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Ray Charles. And indeed, it is on this music that this young talent has been nourished and "Trouble"is the fruit of a profound elaboration of these masters. Produced by Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon, Jayhawks), Trouble is a record with simple and intense arrangements, played with passion and gentleness. Its warm atmospheres inevitably reach the listener's soul.
BUSCADERO: 'Those who love auteur music, soft and interior ballads, sweet and enveloping sounds, have certainly found a new voice to focus on. Ray LaMontagne deserves every attention...' 4/5
JAMHe is a singer-songwriter with blues in his fingers and soul in his voice. He is a talent. Trouble is one of those poor but beautiful albums'. ALBUM OF THE MONTH
ROCKERILLALaMontagne's voice has a magnetic appeal and leaves little grooves in the soul, suspended between Van Morrison and Ben Ottewell... a record that deserves to be listened to and loved without prejudice'.
ROCK ON LINEIt still happens from time to time. It still happens that you find a record in your hands, with a not particularly evocative title ('Problem'), without a particularly eye-catching cover. A record by someone you don't know who it is, someone whose name is not particularly evocative. But you have an intuition. You pick it up, take it home, listen to it and fall in love with it'.
