New England singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne was already in his mid 20s when he decided to embark on a musical career, and over 30 when his career took off with the debut album Trouble. Since then his raspy voice and laid back songs have brought him far.

Currently, he is on a European tour, playing mostly in Central Europe. Looks like he has become popular here as well, because his MySpace page reports all of this week’s shows as sold out. After some weeks in European winter, he will do a spring tour in North America.

Let It Be Me is a song from Ray LaMontagne’s third studio album Gossip in the Grain, released in October 2008. This video is from a concert at the Tabernacle in Atlanta a few days after the release of the album.
