Ray released his sixth studio album Ouroboros in March and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Folk Albums Chart and Vinyl Chart and #2 on the Rock Albums chart. The album received rave reviews with Entertainment Weekly giving the album an A-, garnering the #3 spot on People Magazine’s People Picks and receiving four out of five stars from American Songwriter. Vulture stated the album is, “a 40-minute sonic kaleidoscope incorporating blues, jazz, folk, and psychedelia,” while NPR All Songs Considered stamped the album, “incredible.” American Songwriter said, “the music pushes the soulful singer-songwriter outside any boundaries he has formerly operated in,” and Entertainment Weekly claimed, “Ouroboros is a perfect throwback to the lost art of the album-length format.”
Additionally, LaMontagne is set to kick off his 2016 Ouroboros North American tour with bassist Tom Blankenship, drummer Patrick Hallahan, guitarist Carl Broemel and keyboardist Bo Koster (My Morning Jacket) as the touring band.
