Ever since I heard Trouble, RL's signature hit, I've been addicted. Who has a voice like this? No one. And who in contemporary music sounds like him? No one.

Ray LaMontagne released his third album Gossip in the Grain yesterday. One of my favorite on the record has to be his clever ode to White Stripes Meg White. Her beauty inspired this sweet song. I dig it so much that Meg White is my song of the day.
