In Kezza's defense, I also wrote Ray Lamontagne off as a vending machine singersongwriter cash-in puppet dwackmeister simply because his UK record label decided to arrange his debut marketing true to that genre. That faux grainy 8mm cine footage of him singing like he was a real groover from the dark evening of the soul that followed Woodstock was a marketing manager's mistake.
It put me in mind of James Blunt et al, but even more horrifically it reminded me of that seven year old Devon girl who we were supposed to believe had Arethian levels of soul and depth (Joss Stone I mean).
So it was with reluctance that I bought my missus Ray L's album, but he's definitely quality. A great voice, a great tunesmith.
Shoot the marketing man.
