God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise

by Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs

Overview

Grammy nominated and critically acclaimed, Ray LaMontagne returns with his anticipated fourth studio album, God Willin’ & The Creek Don’t Rise. Entirely self produced (for the first time) the album was recorded in two weeks at LaMontagne’s home in the woods of western Massachusetts. The newly restored historic home served as a homemade recording studio for Ray and his fellow musicians.

With Ray’s vocals at the forefront of the songs and a loose, almost live sounding recording, the album stands as a testament to a band at the height of its powers. The newly coined ‘Pariah Dogs’ consists of Jay Bellarose (drums), Jennifer Condos (bass), Patrick Warren (keyboard), Eric Heywood (guitar) and Greg Leisz (pedal steel guitar).

Individually, these musicians have contributed to the live work of such heralded musicians as Beck, Joe Henry, Tom Waits, Lucinda Williams, Ryan Adams, and Joe Cocker, to name a few of their career highlights. Together with Ray, they shared a sense that the sessions for this record were rare and extraordinary. From the Label
