Accessibility to good music has never been easier, but it's a shame that unreleased album downloads still require hoop-jumping and diligence (i.e. to ensure the album is accurately labeled, without viruses, etc). Hopefully our Unreleased Spotlight, which will feature both live shows and unreleased albums, will make this process a little easier.Our first feature is Ray Lamontagne's Acre of Land

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.

Ray LaMontagne is a beautiful man. He is a folk singer with a gorgeous voice and a pure soul. He also happens to be my best friend's favourite musician of all time. Recently, she asked me to find her a handful of his demo albums. These albums all preceded 2004's Trouble, and according to my friend, Ray is "embarrassed" by the raw quality of these pre-label albums, which means he'll probably nev...

Ray LaMontagne is an artist with a "new sound" in the grand scheme of music today. Well, a new sound that consists of a cauldron full of "old sounds" — which seems to be a popular trend so far in century number twenty-one (see: Amy Winehouse, Madeleine Peyroux, Andrew Bird, Joss Stone, et al).Q: Could you tell me how do you get to Radio City? A: Practice, man, practice!Gossip in the Grain is al.
