Another suggestion for your listening pleasure . . . .

Ray Lamontagne. The CD I am currently to is "Trouble", but I know he just released a new one that is probably every bit as good or better. If you don't trust me, go sample it on itunes. Or go check it out at the library. You may have to wait awhile, but I think it's worth it. If you like mellow, relaxing, folksy type stuff, you will think so too.
