It was released on September 14, 2004, in the United States, and on September 20, 2004, in the United Kingdom.

As you can see, I’m terrible at describing the sound of music, so I’ll shut up now.
I did exactly what that last guy did……i heard Zac Browns cover and starting listening to Ray’s music….and i was blown away instantly, […]Ray Lamontagne – Jolene « Music Thoughts[…]…. I am so infinitely grateful to Ray for writing this song.

Ray is the kind of songwriter that can write a love song without seeming like a huge p&ssy; and in the era of Nick Lachey’s “What’s Left of Me,” that certainly speaks volumes. Sold my coat when I hit Spokane I feel like it perfectly articulates everything that I love about Ray Lamontagne and especially “Jolene”. Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. I think he might be talking about suicide, a 9 pound hammer is also a term used in discussion the of revolvers, and it seems in keeping with the themes of both lost love and addiction. Trouble is the debut studio album by singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne. He loves her so much and he is asking her to see him for whom he is and what he wants to be for her.
The first time I heard Ray’s “Three More Days” and “Trouble” I fell in love with his song writing. As far as the 9 pound hammer reference. But I digress…When he begins singing the first verse, you know you’re in for a ride…its one of those songs that you can’t just listen to in passing…it makes you concentrate, and truly envision whatever the artist is singing about.
He has the power to offer her commitment and love and to break her from her holds her back. I don’t see nor hear anybody living in this day and age taking “Jolene” from my player. Unbelievable.
Ray does a great job of using simple chord progressions, and the mastery of his producer, to create a great musical background to his lyrics (not that he wrote one before the other, but in collaboration with the words). Many thanks for sharing!
This makes for a pretty bleak snapshot but I don’t think it is unrealistic, especially for an artist like Ray who seem to refuse to pull punches with their lyrics.In any case this song is a deep cut… supreme songwriting.
There are a few things about addiction, specifically hitting “rock bottom” that fit with the themes of this song remarkably well.
Most entry level positions as a carpenter, are as of a laborer (LOTS of demolitions with a sledge). A picture of you, holding a picture of me In summation, Jolene is a song you should start listening to, and NOW…If you find yourself with an extra 20 dollars lying around, buy both of his albums on Itunes (“Trouble,” and “Til the Sun Turns Black”). I am so happy with everything written here! This is only my personal interpretation, but it seems to be an obvious allusion to the fact that no matter what a man wants out of life, whether that be running around and banging everything in sight, making money and looking down on those who don’t have it, starting a family, whatever, he needs something, as Ray states, “To hold onto.” Whether a 9-pound hammer is analogous to a steady job, a passion, or something more tangible, it seems the main character in “Jolene” has neither the hammer, nor the woman. just to prove to me that you can Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. I always listen to Jolene whenever I am writing and need inspiration. Not all of the songs will knock your socks off, but the ones that do will leave you face down in a ditch…booze in your hair…blood on your lips…a picture of yo-…you get the point. Of course, without a good melody, this song is a collection of good lyrics.

Although the album was released in 2004, the song didn't enter the top five of the UK charts until August 2006. (I also might add that it is entirely possible to be addicted both to a woman and a drug at the same timeso perhaps it is in fact about both simultaneously) As a recovering alcoholic I can attest to the fact that for me the deeper into my addiction I got the more all of my problems started to look the same whether it was her or the booze. Your site is useful. Raymond Charles Jack LaMontagne is an American singer-songwriter and musician. Point is, this guy is legit…he went from working in a shoe factory in Maine and not even talking to people, to creating some pretty incredible music with a beautiful, unique voice that had previously been unused. If Ray Lamontagne’s Jolene came on through my ancient Proton radio alarm clock, and I was heading out the door for work… I’d say, “Hold on… fuck getting to work on time, this is some major gravitas and melodic perfection, and I’ll leave when I’m damn ready yo.

Everything is very open with a very clear clarification of the issues. is just making me mad
If you like Ray’s original version try Zac Brown’s version which is a little more mainstream. I hadn’t heard THIS version until today and it easily takes the top between the two versions. ( Log Out / Just when you think the song is going to be a story of sorts, leading you through a plot via simple lyrical metaphor and narration, he starts the 2nd verse with assertions of his lost love, and the male condition in general: ” A man needs something he can hold onto I have just discovered Ray lamontagne and I love his music. I found myself face down in the ditch I actually heard this version first. As a female my thoughts are that he loves Jolene and she wants to love him too but she is very troubled too “Still don’t know what love means” She is scared and has had a tough time in life & love.

Anyway, one day he woke up to his alarm, which was set to “radio” instead of that loud buzzer that makes me want to behead an innocent kitten every morning at 6:40 am.
