Guilty, m'Lud..............
Today I collected Ray Lamontagne's 2004 debut album 'Trouble', which contains Shelter and Hold You In My Arms (see link above).
Many thanks to Desert Ocean for opening my eyes and ears to a sublime talent that I knew little about before...........

Re: Song reflecting your mood at the moment
I've posted a couple of versions of this classic recently, including the stunning jazzy version by Precious Iglesias and Pamela "The Saxtress" Williams, but there is no law against posting another one, especially when it's this good......... love the Eliott Lewis vocal................
Good to know these guys are still touring...........

Question: how many people have actually gone out and bought a CD on the strength of something they heard in this thread?

Hey Dean, if you like Ray...here is a NPR link to a live recorded concert. Nice listening while you surf the net.
