Perfect seg from Ray Lamontagne, Bill—and though this guy has a little Ben Harper in him—you'll notice a definite accent. I'm not sure where from, but I think it really adds to his inflection and delivery—makes his voice quite unique and cool. Just like Ray L.
Scottish! They got him to tone-down his accent for the CD, likely to appeal more to a US audience. But if you can find him live (check YouTube), or get a copy of his "Live at the Isle of Wight Festival", you will hear his full beautiful voice and accent. There is also a fantastic video of him live on Leno. I get goosebumps every time I listen to him. Maybe some of my Canadian Scottish genes bubbling away...
I gave it an 8, but if all we heard was classical music, I'd probably give it a 5. There are a lot better performances than this one. I think the high scores are because we hear so little classical on this stream.
