    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.
