One Lonesome Saddle

Ray LaMontagne

A dusty, unpolished collection of acoustic demos. Sparse guitar and a voice that sounds like it has been cured in woodsmoke and heartbreak.

2002

Find on Amazon

A quiet, weathered solitude that feels both ancient and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sharp intake of breath before the first line of Down to the River sets a startlingly intimate tone.
A lonely harmonica wail on Hobo Blues that feels like it was recorded in a vast, empty warehouse.
The raw, unrefined vocal crack during the climax of Shelter that predates his more polished studio versions.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
