(This isn't Storytellers. Just a single great recording of Like Rock & Roll and Radio.)

I recommend everyone watch Ray Lamontagne's Storytellers on VH1. I've been watching Storytellers consistently this season, minus Kings of Leon 'cause I just don't care, but Lamontagne's has been the ultimate so far in comparison with Cee Lo, My Morning Jacket, and Death Cab. All these front men have striking qualities in sharing their experience creating music, but Lamontagne has such a quiet genuineness about him. I think most people can attest to being partial to the humble, and this man is humble embodied. You can view the entire episode on VH1's website...if you need a good cry. He talks about how his mother raised him along with his 5 brothers and sisters:

"We were broke...but she made being poor fun somehow...We didn't even know we were poor, really, really? We kinda did. When I went to a friend's house, I knew we were poor. When I ate food at someone's house, I knew we were poor."

He goes on to talk about their pink Ford station wagon named Beula and so on...watch it.
