Manage episode 441542520 series 3398731
Ray LaMontagne is a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter known for his raspy vocals and soulful, introspective lyrics. He also has an incredible life story that you rarely hear about, because he prefers to avoid the spotlight and let his music do the talking.
But in this episode, Ray opens up about his challenging childhood, working as a carpenter to support his young family, and how he resisted pressure from his label to rewrite his debut album, “Trouble.”
He also reveals his unique songwriting process, which involves taking long periods of time away from his guitar until certain melodies begin to surface and “bother” him. Plus, how overcoming self-criticism allowed him to embrace the joy of performing.
