Ray LaMontagne

Singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne doesn’t do a ton of press, so we were thrilled to get some time with him to discuss his latest tour and the 20th anniversary reissue of his album Trouble. First released in 2005, Trouble peaked at No. 164 on the Billboard 200. His next album, Till the Sun Turns Black, went to No. 28. His next three albums all reached No. 3: Gossip in the Grain from 2008, God Willin’ and the Creek Don’t Rise from 2010, and Supernova from 2014. Ray got one track into Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart, “You Are the Best Right,” in 2008. The song was featured in the film I Love You, Man.  Ray’s ninth and latest album, Long Way Home, was released in 2024. Long Way Home was released independently (through Thirty Tigers, a Nashville-based distributor) after eight previous albums through RCA Records. The lead single, the R&B-soaked “Step Into Your Power,” topped Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay chart in August 2024.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
