 Ray LaMontagne warms the soul Dec 01, 2008
This guy is the bomb! When he's mellow, he's evocative like Nora Jones; when he's rockin' he's kickin' like Joe Cocker. I love this album. (Check out 'Trouble' too!)
Amazing Album Oct 10, 2008
This is so good it hurts. I have listened to it over and over with rapt attention. The texture is rich, the poetry, thoughtful. The final five tracks create a beautiful sequence, particularly the couplets eight and nine and ten and eleven. Tracks ten and eleven form one song in two movements and create such a haunting experience that I was frightened on my first listening. I cannot recommend this high enough, and this is after a couple months of consistantly listening to this album. It is my favorite LaMontagne album thus far.

 good back drop music I was looking for a little more rock Jul 29, 2008
The hit on the cd is assume I was hoping for a little more rock. I have had it on with people over for dinner it is perfect for that. He reminds me of Ben Harper the same sort of somberness but not as much rock.
Takes my breath away May 09, 2008
Whenever I listen to Ray LaMontagne I am taken away to a different place- a different planet. There are few artists that have the ability to do that for me. His voice, his lyrics, the way the music wraps around everything is simply stunning. There are no other words to truly explain it.
My favorite song on the album is "Empty." I remember the first time I played that song for a friend of mine- he had tears in his eyes after it was over telling me that he could "feel the pain in the song, and that it was beautiful."
"lay your blouse across the chair,
let fall the flowers from from your hair
and kiss me with that country mouth, so plain.
outside, the rain is tapping on the leaves,
to me it sounds like they're applauding us the the quiet love we made.
will i always feel this way?
so empty, so estranged."
Till The Sun Turns Black May 01, 2008
Once you start listening to the first track "Be Here Now," you will not want to turn this album off. I was captivated. Every track on this album in brilliant.
