Ray LaMontagne covers “Crazy”

So way back when, I heard a song called “Trouble” by a singer named Ray LaMontagne. It sounded reminiscent of Sam Cooke or Crosby Stills and Nash. What he is is a folk singer who knows how to rock. I was in love…but I stupidly put listening to more of Ray on the backburner.

Now, not only was Ray’s song “Trouble” covered by American Idol contestant Taylor Hicks, but Ray has also come out with a cover all his own.

He covered Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy.”

And you know what? It’s damn good.

    I heard this song in the radio the other day, and just felt like sitting down and listen.. it is so amazing, what a voice. Normally i dont like cover’s but this one i actually like better than the original. I could not find the song on any playlists and i could not remember Rays name.. so here -finally i found it :)

    Every once in awhile, there’s a song that sinks in and lingers. Ol’ Gnarls can’t even get it done this well. OUTSTANDING! Thanks Siruis “Coffehouse, channel 30″ for bringing this one into my life.

    Wow, that was fantastic! I saw in November in Vancouver and the show was brilliant. His opening act was pretty cool as well but I can’t remember the kid’s name…anyone?

    This is a cool version, but saying that Gnarles Barkley cant even do it this well is… well, crazy. Don’get me wrong, id listen to Ray over Gnarles any day of the week, but….

    Doesn’t anyone remember the slow version Gnarles did of this at the Grammys?
