Loretta

Some more good harmony. Norah Jones, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings perform the Townes Van Zandt song "Loretta".



Here is a second version of the same song that does not really have much harmony, but it does have some great singers—John Prine, Lyle Lovett, Ray LaMontagne and Elvis Costello.

The Weight

An all star performance of "The Weight"—Elvis Cotello, Ray LaMontagne, Nick Lowe, Richard Thompson, Allen Toussaint and Levon Helm on drums.

Ray LaMontagne

Ray LaMontagne released a new album this week, God Willin & the Creek Don't Rise. I have listened to a couple time, and think it may be his best. Here is some video of my two favorite songs on the album.

"Old Before My Time"



"New York City's Killing Me"



"Jolene" my favorite song from his first album, Trouble.
