From a musician who stays true to himself, a collaboration with the Blind Boys of Alabama to create the kind of atmospheric blues and gospel that take you straight to the Delta, every time.

A friend just turned me on to this group. Excellent lyrics and arrangement. A real ear and heart toward music. They sound a bit alternative, but they are in no way pretentious.

The sophomore effort. He adds a few strings, a little jazz, but is still all LaMontagne. These affecting songs are as ephemeral as his others are earthen.

This album represents her fight to be herself; they are songs left off her obviously pop-centric "Under Rug Swept." They are, quite simply, some of her best songs ever.

Not this album but the two previous that he produced on his own, before the overnight fame. They reflect his roots in the South and his love for all things blues, and showcase a songwriting talent that would surprise all of you.
