Artwork Alert: Ray LaMontagne - God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise
For those of you 'unawares' - the new Ray LaMontagne and The Pariah Dogs single "Beg, Steal or Borrow" came out on July 2nd. If you haven't snagged it yet - what are you waiting for? Do it HERE! Why? Well if you like Ray LaMontagne then it's a no brainer. The song sounds like anything else Ray LaMontagne has done...except backed by an amazing band (a band who's name he's added to the album cover - 'The Pariah Dogs') If you aren't familiar with LaMontagne you really need to check yourself. LaMontagne's vocals are thick like honey...thick like smoke...just thick! He's got this RASPY-quality to his voice, that for some other singers might come off sounding worn out but not for Ray. Ray's rasp just adds to his appeal. When he's singing about a girl, you can FEEL him breaking. It's really beautiful. As if a new single to download wasn't enough... the official website has finally been revamped and now features the album artwork for the new album, God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise, out August 17th on RCA. My only complaint - no picture of Ray? I KNOW he's notoriously humble and shy but he's just so darn delicious to look at! Like a sexy woodsman...with a big, thick smokey voice.
