Music review: Ray Lamontagne
RAY Lamontagne comes over as a gentle, even fragile soul but there is something admirably bloody-minded about the uncompromising way he conducts his live affairs. His latest tour, in support of ravishing new album Part of the Light, could hardly be more simple in set-up – Lamontagne on acoustic guitar, all the better to serenade the gathering, with subtle embellishment from Wilco’s John Stirratt on electric bass and clear, honeyed harmonies.
