#15 Ray LaMontagne - Gossip In The Grain

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a strong passion for music. This year has been quite excep­tional. So here is my best of 2008 list.

Ray LaMon­tagne has been the modern equiv­alent to Van Morrison and I love him for it. Ray sings with conviction through the folky numbers and pop ballads that consume this release.

Maybe it’s simply the year I had, but I needed an album from him and I am happy with what I got.

Stand out tracks include: Let it be Me, Sarah and I Still Care For You.
