    For the inclusion of the utter dross of the song that is "Meg White" alone this album should be cast aside and scorned forever.

    Gossip in the Grain is LaMontagne's most adventurous recording, yet in many ways it's also the most focused and well executed.

    While there's not a bad one in the bunch, once you've heard LaMontagne loosen up, you're left starving for more of it.

    On Gossip in the Grain, he slides effortlessly between horn-inflected R&B and hushed Nick Drake-like folk, with stops in between for string-band country, flute-flavored chamber pop, and harmonica-stoked blues.
