Great thread introduction, ALEX! It's now a sticky on this board.
Just adding an article snippet to introduce the band, for the benefit of new fans:
**
Ray LaMontagne's new album has gone to the dogs! The Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter has dubbed his studio band The Pariah Dogs and is preparing the release of his fourth full-length, "God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise," out on Aug. 17 via RCA.
According to a release from RCA, this marks the first set ever that the performer produced entirely on his own, recorded over two weeks out of his home studio in western Mass.
The Pariah Dogs impressively boasts of drummer Jay Bellerose (Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, Joe Henry), bassist Jennifer Condos (Bruce Springsteen, Ryan Adams), keyboardist Patrick Warren (Fiona Apple, Red Hot Chili Peppers), guitarist Eric Heywood (Son Volt, The Pretenders) and pedal steel guitarist Greg Leisz (Wilco, Beck). There's been plenty of overlap in that particular crew, especially with backing acts like Sam Phillips and Sheryl Crow, and worlds of alt-country sets between them.
LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs will hit the road in August with David Gray as support; highlights of that stint include a stop off at Red Rocks in Colorado and a pair of dates at The Greek in L.A.
Jennifer, I don't know how we missed each other at Bob Weber and Kari's wedding. I would have loved to met you! Patty Altier
