I love Ray LaMontagne. He fascinates me.
He describes himself as a very private person and hardly ever gives interviews. He's been known to perform on an unlit stage and not interact with the audience between songs. He also (and this is my favorite part) has a cabin in rural Maine, about which he say:s "I get home, up here in the mountains, and I'm very cut off from everything." Ray LaMontagne is my kind of recluse.
Plus he's a damned talented singer/songwriter. It's not uncommon for me to put his songs on shuffle and hang out for an afternoon. There really isn't a song I don't like.
