So is MMJ seriously Ray Lamontagne's backing band this summer?

[oistheone]

I spoke to one of the producers of WayHome festival last night, and he said Ray's set with MMJ is the one he is most looking forward to all weekend. Says that he's been told there will be some pretty bitchin' covers in rotation throughout the tour. Added to my excitement even further!!

Also, the album is now "out there". Major props to the label for keeping it under wraps until a day before the release date.

LaMontagne is a famously shy frontman, and he'd basically shunted himself off to the far side of the stage, standing at an angle to the audience so he was really facing the band more than the crowd. But he was in fine voice and the new songs took flight in this setting, with the band largely accompanying him for the song proper and then opening up, swelling and building on the chord structure, embellishing the songs with atmospheric guitar work from Carl Broemel or a bonkers synth solo from Bo Koster -- and several solos from LaMontagne himself, who played an electric guitar on more than half the songs. The two musicians' ghostly harmonies, so familiar from MMJ songs, blended with LaMontagne's whispy voice in a manner completely different from the way they mesh with James, but equally complementary -- at times, the night's more haunting and trippy moments sounded like mid-'70s Pink Floyd songs that David Gilmour sings.

Here's a link to the full writeup from Billboard on the show:
