Didn't someone recently Post about him having the same font as Kings of Leon?? Yep that was me! The new album cover has the same font!  www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/images/B001G79P66/sr=8-2/qid=1223541406/ref=dp_image_0/202-0783992-7304658?ie=UTF8&n=229816&s=music&qid=1223541406&sr=8-2And also when you go to Amazon it says customers wh9o bought the new album also bought KOL-OBTN and they are selling the two cds together for cheaper.  I've seen him live twice and the first time i was in complete awe. He's so shy and barely talks to the crowd but when he starts to sing.....wow! And then he came out of hie shell a bit near the end of one of the gigs and told us some funny stories. Can't wait for the new album. Did you see there's a song on it called Meg White?!?  |

Tis out tomorrow here in Ireland and on Monday in the UK. Not sure about anywhere else. Meg White is the drummer from the White Stripes! I wonder why he named a song after her. Maybe he loves her! Chichi i'd say start with Trouble, overall it's a brilliant album. Then get straight into Till the Sun Turns Black. They're his only two albums released yet so it's not like he has loads of albums you have to get through and they're well worth it!  |

I love the new album! It's brilliant, as usual. Good old Ethan does a lot on it and it sounds great. Slightly different to his others but still brilliant. |

FYI: Ray LaMontagne announces Irish and UK Tour Ray LaMontagneRay LaMontagne has announced an 14-date headline tour of Ireland and the UK through February 2009, commencing at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin on February 1 and including The Black Box in Galway on February 4. The news follows the release of Ray LaMontagne's highly anticipated third album Gossip In The Grain through 14th Floor Records on October 13. To coincide with the tour, the album's opening track 'You Are The Best Thing' will be given a full single release on February 23, 2009. February 2009 live dates: Sun, 01 Feb Dublin, Olympia Theatre Thu, 04 Feb Galway, Black Box Fri, 05 Feb Waterfront Hall, Belfast Sat, 07 Feb York, Opera House Sun, 08 Feb Manchester, Lowry Mon, 09 Feb Glasgow, Royal Concert Hall Wed, 11 Feb Nottingham, Royal Concert Hall Thu, 12 Feb Birmingham, Symphony Hall Fri, 13 Feb Gateshead, The Sage Sun, 15 Feb London, Barbican Tues, 17 Feb Southampton, Guildhall Thu, 19 Feb Cambridge, Corn Exchange Fri, 20 Feb Brighton, Dome Sat, 21 Feb Bristol, Colston Hall Tickets for Ray Lamontagne's Irish dates are on sale at all usual ticket outlets from this Saturday 16 October. Tickets for the fully seated Olympia Theatre show are priced €49.20 (Stalls/Circle) and €44.20 (Upper Circle) incl. booking fee. Ireland: www.ticketmaster.ie - (ROI) 0818 719 300 (NI) 0870 243 4455 Recorded with returning producer, Ethan Johns in Box, England, and touching upon a range of styles and musical settings Gossip In The Grain proves to be LaMontagne's most creative and emotionally expansive collection to date. Whereas LaMontagne's two previous albums, Trouble and Till The Sun Turns Black, were largely solo affairs, with Johns serving as multi-tasking instrumentalist, Gossip In The Grain sees him joined by members of his touring band, bassist Jennifer Condos and guitarist Eric Heywood (with Johns largely handling drum duties). LaMontagne's 2004 debut, Trouble, became one of that year's most acclaimed debuts, spawning an instant classic single in the album's title track and led to LaMontagne being nominated for a Brit Award for Best International Breakthrough Act. LaMontagne returned two years later with the stunning Till The Sun Turns Black a deeply personal work haunted by a complex and compelling melancholy. The album received plaudits on both sides of the Atlantic, including a four-star review from Q, which described Till The Sun Turns Black as a 'mesmerising, beautiful record'.
