Ray LaMontagne

Transfixed by the emotional power

An amazing talent, an inspirational story that is triumphant in the face of reality show stardom and the reason I now like men with beards so much. But they have to be full beards and soft. I am far too sensitive for a bit of rough! I first heard him on tv, I was absolutely transfixed by the emotional power of his performance, but I never found out his name until months later, I was in HMV and they were playing the same song! I rushed over to the desk, found out and bought him home with me. And I have been spreading his word ever since. Just waiting for my true love to arrive so that we can make Shelter our song.
