Chart Stalker 8/26/10: There’s Life!!!
Eminem #1, yada yada yada blah blah blah. However, the remainder of the Top 10 on this week’s Billboard album chart gets an almost complete makeover, by virtue of six debuts and a reentry. The only albums in this week’s Top 10 that were also in last week’s Top 10 besides Eminem are Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs” (#7) and Justin Bieber’s “My World 2.0” (#8). This week’s Top 10 debuts come from R&B singer Kem (#2), singer-songwriters Ray LaMontagne (#3) […]
Troubadour X 2: Ray LaMontagne & David Gray Live in Boston
I totally understand that seeing two guys with guitars sing love songs might not be your cup of tea. However, if that is your bag? You could do a lot worse than checking out rough-voiced New Englander Ray LaMontagne and soulful Welshmen David Gray in concert together. I was able to see them on a particularly interesting date-as August 17th was the day that both men released their latest albums. Ray’s “God Willin’ and the Creek Don’t Rise” is his […]
Chart Stalker! 8/18/10: Change Soon Come
I’ll stand by for a sec and let you try to guess who has this week’s #1 album. Give up? It’s Eminem!! “Recovery” scans another 133,000 units this week and spends it’s 6th non-consecutive week at the top of Billboard’s album chart. “Recovery” also spends it’s 8th consecutive week at the top of Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Album chart. It’s the longest consecutive stay at the top for a rap album in 20 years. Last album to hang around that long? MC […]
New Release Report 8/17/10: Sensitivity
Those of you who like your singer/songwriters sensitive are in for a treat today, because the overwhelming majority of albums coming out today (at least those worth mentioning) feature in that little sub-genre! I promise I will not say another word about how Ray LaMontagne makes me swoon. All I will say is that his fourth album, “God Willin’ and the Creek Don’t Rise” is at the top of my new release list for various reasons. I will also say […]
The Sexiest Hermit Ever: New Ray LaMontagne Available 8/17
Three ways to capture my heart. 1) Be a singer-songwriter with an aching beautiful voice. 2) Be a little damaged and emotionally sensitive . 3) Have a thick-ass beard. One person who possesses all three of those attributes (but is unfortunately already spoken for) is Maine’s own Ray LaMontagne. If there is one thing I can ever thank “American Idol” for, it’s for the fact that hearing someone sing “Trouble” on that show (I believe it was Taylor Hicks, but […]
Ray LaMontagne & David Gray Announce Summer Tour Plans
It’s not very often that two of my very favorite artists go on tour together. So needless to say, I was wicked excited when I heard the news that David Gray and Ray LaMontagne were going on tour together this summer. Gray is best known for his 2000 album “White Ladder” and its’ hits “Babylon” and “Please Forgive Me”. The Welsh musician has racked up several hit albums since then, although not on “Ladder”‘s level. His most recent album, “Draw […]
