Blake's Pick 1 - Trouble


Hey all! This is the first installment of "Blake's Pick". Links to a band or artist that I think are worth a listen.

The first is a musician by the name of Ray LaMontagne.

"Ray LaMontagne was born in New Hampshire ("But we were just passing through," he points out), one of six kids from various fathers—all raised by their resourceful mom. His mother and father, a musician who now works in Nashville, split up soon after his birth ("I've talked to him for a total of about a minute and a half in 20 years," Ray says ruefully), and Mom went wherever she could put a roof over her children's heads—from Utah to Maine and points between, where they resided in an assortment of unusual domiciles: the backyards of his mother's friends, in cars and tents, a cinderblock shell on a Tennessee horse ranch, a New Hampshire chicken coop."

And 3 songs for a listen (In Qucktime format cause it sounds better). Trouble was featured on the "A Lot Like Love" soundtrack.
