New Ray Lamontagne video

Ray Lamontagne released a video for his new single "You Are The Best Thing" last week. I think a great video can sometimes catapult an emerging artist to a much higher level. I consider myself a huge Ray fan and luckily for him, I think a crappy and cheesy video can never extinguish a great artist. I keep watching this waiting for the "Heineken" or "Axe" logo to appear until I remember that even those companies would never let a lackluster video like this be a part of their campaign. Urgggh. It's a great song (see a slight review on my previous post)...think of what they COULD HAVE done with it!

Wow - I kinda wish that was a joke.

It's like the disappointment of Band of Horses' "No One's Gonna Love You" video. I still can't get over it.

Sadly, this happens more than you want it to. I'd rather there be no video than a crappy one.
