@ablaze has been doing 3 tune tuesday for quite a while and we love the idea of it and some of the posts. it is a great way to listen to new music which is always something we want to do!

Our picks

This week we want to highlight the music of Ray LaMontagne. In the UK we are very much in autumn with the nights getting longer. Well Ray is the ultimate music for being wrapped up nice and warm in front of the fire have a quiet glass of wine and just chilling out. We saw him once in Brighton playing the Brighton Dome and he just stood there making beautiful music, no fuss, no thrills. The way you can tell such a great artist is the fact that it all just looked effortless. He just stood up and did his thing!

Song 1

Now the first song we pick is Jolene. What a beautifully crafted song with some real heartfelt lyrics. His smooth vocals and guitar laid out bare for his soul to be placed on the table. Probably some of my favourite lyrics from any song in this one:

"I found myself face-down in a ditch
Booze in my hair, blood on my lips
A picture of you, holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans"

Song 2

Now the second song "Shelter" I found a nice live version of. You can here how natural his voice is in this. His gravitas as a singer is second to none. Cutting across the band and the strings...

Song 3

Now "You are the best thing" shows his soul. With its roots in Motown and soul. You can here that he is not just a sole singer songwriter but he can hold his own with the best in soul. This is a real catchy arrangement with great backing vocals and some nice brass arrangements. Still with his vocals sitting on top of it all!

We love all types of music and hope that you like our choices!

Big up all the music in the world and the joy we get making and listening to it!

WOW, what a distinctive voice.
I like "You are the best thing" best (boah, sorry for that 'best' repetition).
His voice rhythm and body movement (from 2nd song) reminds me of Ray Charles while his voice itself is clearly something else. But it fits the lyrics and style.
Thanks for enriching my musical experience.

Not someone who's music I am that familiar with, so only knew You are the best thing from the trio you shared and it's a song I like a lot, but I must say Jolene and Shelter are a joy to listen too, I was really taken with Jolene in particular, this guy is special.
