Ray LaMontagne's first major job was at a a shoe factory where he worked 65 hours a week. One morning his alarm clock woke him up at 4 a.m. for the early shift to Stephen Stills' song "Treetop Flyer". Ray went on to buy the whole Stills album, Stills Alone, and was inspired to quit his job at the factory and begin writing and performing music. Ray's first album was released almost three years ago, but it remains one of my favorites. Below is a video of his biggest hit, Trouble.
